I just left this charity event at college bc they had a lot more people than they needed plus I wasn't friends with anyone there. There is another event that will end shortly where a bunch of people interested in a popular club cab come. I have already met a lot of people from this club but i guess I could benefit from going anyway. Problem is when I get into situations with large groups I stay quiet bc I don't know what to say which makes me look awkward. I want to go out and have fun but they have to vote on my membership so I don't want to go and make eveyone think im awkard and damage the relationship (if im aquainted with someone but only spoken with them a few times and they think of me as an ok guy but not besties) that I've already built. help me. like I said it ends soon so comment with hepfl advise and tell me why u think that not just to do or not to do.

I'm afraid I have no advice except to ask would it hurt you more to go and not get voted in than it would to skip it? I understand wanting to go out and have fun. fun is good :) if you go, remember to breathe, and try to chit chat (not my favorite, I'm not good at it, but I'm learning the trick of asking other people questions).

Ask yourself why you want to join a club if you are uncomfortable hanging out with groups of people.

personally I've found special interest groups to be way easier to socialize in than groups of friends where I know one or two. if the event is organized around a shared interest, perhaps that's the appeal and some of us do like that kind of thing.

Try getting yourself into a smaller subgroup when you're in a large group. Those are easier to get along with.
