Hell, for me as a player, is when I'm on a table and the spotlight lands on me... and sticks.
And then I explicitly solicit the other players for anything they'd like to add or do to participate...
And they tell me nah, we're good waiting / letting you take the lead.
I detest being That Guy one-on-one RPing with the GM when there's a crowd of PCs around me. It's not what OP is about, in my mind.
I'd rather get in an IC fight with a paladin party member, just so that more people are participating, than have that go on, but that's borderline griefing and doesn't move the story of the adventure forward.
It's even worse, of course, when this happens.... and I'm not playing an appropriate party leader PC, and it leads to derail and complication that no-one enjoys. Sometimes I'll pick the more-likely-to-derail option *just* in the hope that another player will step forward into the spotlight... Mileage may vary on how that works out, too.
TL;DR: So, anyone got more suggestions on how to subtly or blatantly get back out of the spotlight when the other players don't seem inclined to come in and share it?
