I feel whatever shit happened with me during my school days may repeat at college. I was a bit bullied, ended up with no friends and it sucked. At college, I know alot of people and there are several groups. There is another group I want to join, but I only know a couple of people in that group. They have a lot of fun, and continuously roast each other. I am more of the quiet type,but once I get comfortable I talk alot. Most of them already know each other, so would it be off if I just sat with the group while they were together?

I think I have this fear of being insulted and disrespected like I was in school. I hang around with other people who I am comfortable with, but I really want to fit in with those other people because it will be twice as fun, and my smv will rise aswell.

I am desperate to have a group of friends, and increase my social status. So far I have failed to do so and i need tips on all the shit that i have mentioned above.

There are times I just stay quiet becaus I feel I will end up offending people and creating a fight.

Also do I feel this way because of my experiences in school, or is it because I assume shit alot?
