My boyfriend is wonderful and kind and a great listener and very engaging with me, but actively is bored by all of my friends. He’s been willing to accompany me on various trips/meals with friends, but usually ignores people and tells me how bored he was afterwards.

It means a lot to me to have him involved in various parts of my life. I don’t ask it of him often (I know he’s very introverted), but having him come just to be a downer is maybe worse than just not having him along. All my friends want to meet him and to become friends with the person who has made me tremendously happy for the last couple years, but on the off chance we do all get together, he basically just looks at his hands!

Is there some way I can get him to interact in a nontaxing way?

1　ここでのengagingは「愛嬌のある」でしょうか？
2　having him come just to be a downer is maybe worse than just not having him along.の和訳を教えてください。
3　nontaxingはどのような意味でしょうか？

以上、よろしくお願いします

＞1　ここでのengagingは「愛嬌のある」でしょうか？
⇒はい、そのとおりだと思います。
☆「私のボーイフレンドは素敵で、親切で、聞き上手で、とても愛嬌のある人ですが、私の友人はみんな彼のことをとても退屈がっています」。

＞2　having him come just to be a downer is maybe worse than just not having him along.の和訳を教えてください。
⇒「（私は〈彼が非常に内向的であることは分かっていますので〉頻繁には頼みませんが）彼にただいやな思いをさせてしまうことは／彼を塞ぎこませてしまうことは、たぶん、彼を同伴しない／一緒に行かないより悪いことでしょう」。

＞3　nontaxingはどのような意味でしょうか？
⇒「負担にならない（ような方法）」。
☆「彼の負担にならないような方法で彼に関わってもらうための方法は何かありますか？」。
