I hope it works too! I'm sure it varies from group to group and person to person.

Maybe you can bond over a common activity even though the members of the group are older than you? For me if I was in your spot I would ask if anyone likes to bake (I like to bake, and so do many people), or crochet (I tried a few times and it was fun!), or whatever.

Best of luck, would love it if you kept us updated =)
