n.

Failing to relate to friends or family in an animated, engaged, manner.

I sometimes watched...families sitting together after their dinners, mute but cozy, watching sitcoms in which television mothers, fathers, and children related in an animated way to one another while the viewing family engaged in relational loafing.
