That awkward moment when...
Options
Your bf or gf drags you to a friends house full of people that are 8-10 years older than you all talking about things you can't really join in on, so you awkwardly sit there the entire night resorting to playing with your phone until it's over. What's even worse is that my dedicated cheat meal isn't till tomorrow (really don't want to break that, stick with a routine) and what they are eating is pizza... I planned on eating something when we get out of here but looks like I'm going to be here longer than I thought. Hungry and definitely feel like I shouldn't be here... Lol sigh. What awkward moments have you guys had? Keep me company! :]

Also the reason he wanted me to come is cause he wanted someone to talk to cause since it's just one person he knows when a whole group is here that he doesn't know, but turns out I'm the only one sitting here with no one to talk to lol go figure0

Why don't you have anything to talk about?0

I play video games but their having a gaming night specifically only classic and these are people that know EVERYTHING about classic games, I know minimal about them even though I own a few. Also it sucks that all his attention is on the tv and talking to them so I'm literally just sitting here alone on my phone that def won't last through the night hah0

This is more of an issue with the age barrier than anything. You lack the social skills to bridge that gap. It is unfortunate, but it is what it is.0

Get off your phone and jump in with the conversation!0

Sorry to the OP, but I agree.

have a few drinks, start talking, and play some retro games. I know how you feel tho. I've had situations that I just can't win in.0 -

I had a similar issue with my ex - he took me to a halloween party with all of his friends, and while I was younger by 7ish years I was the most mature person there. Also he didn't introduce me to a single soul and was super drunk and would just leave me for 40 minutes at a time - yeah, I said ex.0

There was this one night when my husband invited a co-worker and his gf over for some games and pizza. All the gf did was sit on the sofa and play with her iPhone all night.0

There is no alcohol here and I have social anxiety, so I'm feeling kind of queasy I guess and really just want to leave. Being on my phone is helping a bit with my comfort level, can't really help it.0

^this. Even if you don't have anything to add to most of the conversation, be involved and attentive enough to be ready when/if it happens. Sitting there on your phone is not a good idea.0 -
in terms of moments, one of my ex girlfriends was impossible to deal with, and hated pretty much all of my friends, even from different groups.
my design school friends were having a few drinks at a look out spot, she didn't want to go, but we went. she got out of the car, hardly said hello, stood there for like 1 minute, got back in the car and started driving off. I had to chase the car. I was only there for 2 minutes.
I could go on and on. she was a lunatic.
she would run out of cafes after like 1 minute away from my friends too. yet I couldn't go anywhere alone otherwise she would be waiting to blacken my balls when I got back, even though i was only gone like 4 hours.
what a keeper.0 -

I come from a very tiny family, but my husband comes from a very large & loud family. My family is the type where you call ahead to visit. His is the type where the front door is unlocked, and if you know where the fridge is, help yourself to a beer! So the very first time I went to meet and spend time with them, it was an eye opener.
Get off your phone & mingle. Get to know them, make new friends. That's what I would do in your situation. Life is full of interesting people!0
