I don’t know how to say bye to someone ata large group event when they’re talking to others. For example, today I wanted to say bye to the host at an event with about 20 women, but she was talking to a few other people. I basically just wanted to thank her again for organizing it, but I wasn’t part of the group conversation that she was in, so I wasn’t sure what to do.
What I did was just end up approaching and just calling out like it was really nice to meet you all and waved and then maybe said take care or something like that as I walked away. The person I wanted to think again was actually talking to someone else in the group so maybe didn’t really hear or see me.
I said bye to a couple of the individuals that I was talking to, but this question more so relates when someone is engaged in a group that you feel like you should say bye to them or the host what are you supposed to do if they’re busy talking, and you are ready to leave?
I ended up being on the side, looking up something on my phone for a couple of minutes just because I didn’t know what to do and I wanted to thank the host, but it seemed like their conversation was really long and I needed to go.
I’m already in therapy for social anxiety, but this is a specific scenario that I never know how to handle and it makes me nervous so any tips or insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for reading!
