4. I never really liked it. Now, I don't have anyone to talk to.

My mother and I spoke every day. Death ended that.

Most people text now anyway.

My grandmother and aunt used to chat every day about what happened on the soap opera that they watched every day, Days of Our Lives.

I would talk if a friend called. But now it's only robocall and the doctors office. I've switched my regular communication with my PCP (doctor) to messages recently.

Conversation is limited here and most likely to exist between me and the dog.

The downside is that females supposedly have a need to verbally express themselves to assist them in emotional release and problem solving according to communication science research.

That annoys me. It would be nice sometimes to have an ear to bend.

Thanks for your reply, MIButterfly.
