I just feel like it’d be a good way too keep other people “far away” from me. Like, if I wouldn’t talk to anyone they wouldn’t be too “near/close” to me. It’s really hard to explain… But if I wouldn’t talk to anyone it’d be like I built a barrier around me that would protect me from other people and keep them away.
Besides, I don’t have anything smart to say and nobody really cares what I say or listens to me so what’s the point? I could keep others away and others wouldn’t have to hear me speak so it’s a win-win.

Please take a look at my post #7 on this thread. Are you confident that you would be able to earn a living, year after year, without ever speaking to anybody, either face to face or on the telephone?

This may sound weird but I’m being serious with my question. I’d like to know if it is sinful to deliberately quit speaking, I mean, not due to a mental disoder or anything like that but because of own personal choice? If I just decide that I’ll never speak again, is it a sin or not?

I guess that means you would never get a job!!

No, the OP could learn sign language and work with deaf mute people.

That is still considered a language and a legit form of communication.

Based on what the OP has written…he does not want to communicate with others.

Good luck getting a job, going to see a doctor if you are sick, making important phone calls to fix problems (insurance issues, tradesmen for broken appliances) and other aspects of life that require us to communicate with others.

Depending on what you have a propensity to say, it may in fact be a blessing 😃
