How do you make car rides not... awkward?

Anonymous
I have to go on like, a 15 - 30 minute car ride later today, as a passenger no less, and I'm just.. kind of an awkward person.. I absolutely hate small talk, but it's kind of rude to be on my phone and basically ignoring the other person. They insisted on driving, unfortunately, so I'm kind of stuck. It would've been MUCH better for me if I could have been the one to drive us, because I could at least pretend I was hyper-focused on the road and use that as an excuse.

Help me I'm so awkward 😭
