fauxializing 

The act of attending public gatherings--to be in a social setting--but then emitting a vibe that says you want to be left alone. Being there simply to be around others.

"Who reads a book at a bar?"

"She's just fauxializing."

fauxcializing 

The act of socializing with others through the computer, as opposed to seeing them face to face.

Christian spends so much time fauxcializing on facebook that he hardly ever comes out for drinks anymore.
