Hi Bella!!! My apologies for this delayed response—I read it, and wanted to dedicate the time to respond thoroughly and then last three days stormed by!

Thanks for opening your art and sharing how it feels when you’re invited to an awkward situation.

Case in point last night:
My husband speaks no Spanish, I speak both. We were both invited to a gathering of only Spanish speakers; one spoke English which was host who was busy most of night.

I had to translate for my husband and be the middle person for most evening. I did not enjoy and again, it was host responsibility to set up a scenario where we had people to visit with.
I made best of it and they meant well—but you are right:

If you don’t feel comfortable, it can very well be your hosts fault. Those of us who are extroverts know introverts and either we keep it quaint so it doesn’t overwhelm them, or we stay close by to make sure they feel a part of visit.

Thanks for engaging!!💜💜💜
