Well now, what does one do if someone tries to get him "involved" in a conversation, about which he knows not the topic or what's been said so far about it?

I do greet every single person at the table, acknowledging their presence and picking up a few scraps of information about how each one is doing, blahblahblah.

But to try and follow things renders me comatose.

Usually, I avoid it by not accepting such invitations, probably 75% of them. 

I'm more of a one-on-one person, not a social animal.

Incidentally, an excerpt of this is posted here

in case anyone wishes to see other comments.

I know you are a gentleman to the core.  I never doubt that for a second.  I also know you socialize under different circumstances, and I appreciate that effort.

Nonetheless, you asked and I replied.  It's just an opinion.
