I'm definitely in the avoid camp. In fact I've even avoided the entire social situation (yes, probably to my detriment) just to avoid certain individuals.
I should learn to be more tolerant, and potentially more forthright over closing them down if they cling on (which is why I avoid them) but I prefer to avoid those uncomfortable conversations. |

Similar to having to work with or manage them, do what your there for etc and try and ignore ones personal views for the time your there..
Being polite and or ignoring someone is pretty easy in a social situation for the peace and respecting the hosts by not causing a scene.. |

"How about small groups where avoiding isn't an option and refusing an invitation is difficult?
"
The weather? 
Or some other boring topic that's easy to chat about and if it turns try hard not to react and go the loo/out for some fresh air..? |

"I can be civil with anyone but all conversation will be surface level, nothing long and nothing personal.
This…. And I have to concentrate really hard on my face, it comes with subtitles "
Oh I have terrible emotional leakage… sometimes I think I should sue my face for slander… |

Me n the wife never socialise.
Even when we use to meet on our couples profile we would never socialise before hand.
Every meet I would meet the people about half a mile away from the house n by time I got back she would be stripped down n dressed up ready to go.
Some people socialise n some don't n we don't n nothing wrong with that |
