Currently visiting my partner’s family, but I seriously cannot stand the family member we’re staying with. Talking with him is socially exhausting and within minutes I want to go on my phone, even if I know it’s rude.
I’ve had this issue in the past with very select coworkers, but it’s a struggle catching a break when you’re staying in that person’s house.
I know I’m being a bad guest right now by not fully engaging in conversation. Are there any tips or tricks to work around this exhaustion in the middle of a conversation?
