I've always lived with someone, so it's not something that's ever crossed my mind.

However, I'd guess for myself it'd only be a couple of days since I'm fairly close to family/my LT partner.

5-10 minutes

A long time I would reckon. I could live indefinitely alone. I live alone and like being alone unless I want to interact with people when I can choose to. I wouldn't like being stuck in solitary confinement of course as I would just go insane.

I work from home every day, and I like it. So I'm sure I could go quite a while without seeing actual people.

In-person probably indefinitely as long as money and food weren't an issue.

My dream has always been to buy a nice villa cabin in the Rockies with a T-1 connection where I could just be left alone forever. Had that dream for about 12 years now.

Four days was my max before I started to feel really off.

But the source of every single problem in your life stems from other people in some way or another. By eliminating that stressor you'd be free.

With sufficient entertainment, probably indefinitely.

I had ponder this question before. I thought I like being alone but yet, I do all sort of virtual interactions - in social media, multiplayer games and in forums. Does that mean I can’t live without human interaction?

What it means to be -human- changes along the context of environment.

It is further limited by our own individual capacities to reason.

There's no strict definition to follow,   the single critical step is to -Be, Mindful- of all choice.

Just do it! We need to spend money on beautiful things like a 32 Core! 32-freaking Core! I’m so jealous!

I need both a lot of solitary time and a lot of time with other people, ironically. I'm weird like that.

Not quite sure, probably longer than I can go with...
But it really depends on the human(s) of subject.
