[quote=Anonymous]I totally understand how bored you must be but agree it comes across as very rude. I’d try - making myself very busy to be helpful - pick up left behind plates, refill glasses, wash dishes etc. It gives you something to do for awhile (I’m an introvert and do this just to avoid hours of small talk at events like this) - go on a walk with your son. Or yourself saying you’re good to check in on your family for Xmas - offer to go pick up a round of Starbucks - go home earlier with your son with your spouses blessing - bring an easy game for a few people to play - put on a Xmas movie in a room other than the main area (but still where a couple people might be for a break from socializing) Something about earphones does come across as particularly stand-off-ish and checked out. I’d rather go all in for 4 hours (one hours talk, 2 hours finding ways to keep myself busy, one hour for meal or whatever) and then head out [/quote]
