Or how if there's an odd number of people, the other people in the group will pair off and I'm left to sit there and I guess listen to see if I can insert myself into the conversation or something. And if I can't insert myself into the conversation, I guess I just sit there. I just don't understand why this always happens? I guess I should only be around one person at a time so they can't completely ignore me.

Sounds like--------------either, you could learn about/participate in/express a desire to learn about what fascinates them; or, find a group interested in the things You are interested in------------I think it is normal for group conversation to gravitate toward commonalities-----------I know that I have been in such groups... (& lately, as a much older co-worker, I listen to talk about all kinds of thins I am not knowledgeable about---I begin to learn things if I listen...and that is not so bad....I do like to have a piece of knitting in my hands, or something...(even a drink) during these times...works ok
