I spent close to two years being alone a lot. I would maybe see my SO  (very talkative) or my boss (also talkative) at most for months. I would also spent weeks basically completely alone. Where the only speaking I would do would be pleasantries with gas station attendants, hotel clerks, and brief phone calls where I mostly just listened. 

My ability to form sentences began to degrade, and my ability to carry on conversations was reduced. That was over 6 years ago and I still feel the effects of that sometimes.
