I am currently staying with an aunt for a few days. She needs constant companion because she can hardly walk. Her husband is out of the country so I was asked to be with her. Now she has a few visitors who are relatives of her husband. Since it's mother's day, they came to see her even if her husband is away. One of the visitors told me that I could join them while they catch up if I wanted to. In situations like this, I would normally stay out in another area of the house instead. Like, they are in the living room while I am in the kitchen. What am I doing? Mylotting, of course. Haha! Do you do that too? Is it bad manners to do that?

Hello Jonnifc, I'd rather stay out of their business because that's what's been thought of me for a long time, besides I've gotten used to the fact that it's my thing to butt in and talk. I remember joining a conversation during my training in a call center, and with out knowing i ended up hurting some one else.

well, i am not a house vistor, sit around the house and talk with others kind of person. people who know me know that and expect it. i guess as long as you socialized somewhat. i guess it's not rude. i am no one to ask on that note, cause i am so anti-social and would be doing the same thing.

Well I did socialize a bit because I introduced myself when I let showed them in and I did offer if I can get them anything, like drinks. I just don't feel comfortable joining them because I'll just end up listening to everything and not talking myself. Thanks for sharing!
