What would happen if you stand too long (e.g. days, weeks, or months) with no one to talk to? What happens to the mind and body?

Although spending time alone may produce possible self-improvement from time to time, standing for long periods of time without human interaction can have negative effects on both the mind and body.

Prolonged isolation can lead to feelings of loneliness, depression, and anxiety. Chronic loneliness may ultimately affect cognitive function, concentration, and memory. The noticeable symptoms are recognized through feeling lack of energy, feeling foggy or unable to focus, insomnia, interrupted sleep, or other sleep issues, decreased appetite, feelings of self-doubt, hopelessness, or worthlessness, feelings of anxiousness or restlessness

Physically, the body becomes weaker to environmental impacts and develops the tendency to get sick more frequently, and sometimes aches and pains. If sustained for a long time, the isolation from human contact can lead to the development of varicose veins, blood clots, and other circulation problems, in extreme cases, starvation and dehydration.

Therefore, to a certain extent, humans, even the most introverted, should maintain social connections and engage in activities that promote mental and physical well-being.
