How do I deal with feeling like I don't belong in a social group? While I've talked with one of my closer friends about it and they've told me it isn't really that awkward, I still feel like my few contributions to conversations are rather lame and uninteresting - on top of the anxiety and worry of making a poor impression of myself with a group I'll have to be around often.
I have zero entertaining contributions, but I accept my friends as they are, don't gossip, always encourage their projects and goals, and I always show interest in them.
You only have to worry about not making contributions if you're bringing the social group down (negativity, drama, seeking attention). The less funny and interesting you are, the less negative behavior you can get away with it, usually.
