All I want is a good social life and I do hang out with a couple of people in college but it's gets very boring and the group of 4 often ends up splitting in 2 people which makes it even worse. I have friends across college but they are in different friend groups,and I really want to expand my social circle and have fun but my social anxiety takes over when I go near them (groups in which my other friends are in, because I only know one person there) and usually I end up turning away as soon as i am thinking of approaching them or I end up messing up when talking to them.

The person I hang out with is a great guy but quite introverted, and I want to hang out in a group with high smv people. But I dont really know them and it's been over 8 months since college started and they are all in different friend groups so I think it would seem off if I just entered thier groups-and for a fact I know that my frame will end up breaking if they crack a joke at my expense. I prefer joking with people after I have a bond with them or with low smv people who wont say shit if I joke at thier expense. I do have alot of fun at college with these few people I hang out with but it makes me feel like shit because I am not getting what I want and that is having a group- roaming with high smv friends and having shit loads of fun. Idk wheter it's the fear of being made fun of or fucking up again which is holding me back.

Some advice would be appreciated.
