It's not like a work group or other group you have been in, there's no "common" task or role/job you have that others do not or ways that others can overshadow you; the leader/T makes sure that doesn't happen, that's what they are there for. You only talk when you want but periodically, if you don't do "enough" talking you are prodded for your opinion, etc. The two problems you have are exactly what group is for, to help you with.
