I've been in those situations. Usually someone is just waiting for someone else to say something, like, "Wow, the food really sucks doesn't it?" Most of the time I blurt out what everone else is obviously thinking, like, "These things make me so-o-o-o uncomfortable!"
But I think the main thing is not to put so much pressure on yourself. Why do you HAVE to socialize? Why can't you be reserved? Some people are like that. Chill out a little. You aren't on display here. You're not PERFORMING. You're attending a function. Be as stuck up as you want. Who cares!
