My dad was burnt by not involving in office politics at school. He didn't go to parties, he didn't go to social events, and he didn't largely pay attention in meetings. It ... did not go well for him. He figured it out at the end, but never did figure out how to engage well. Mind, he was likely autistic, carrying many of the signs. Not very relevant, but perhaps a good reminder.
