Obviously, I do not know how you feel able to act around your Band mates, but with this upcoming trip I feel you have the perfect opportunity to push yourself forward a little more, engage a few of them in conversations about the social aspects of the trip. If you put yourself out there a little, chances are others will open up and be more friendly towards you. You do all have something exciting in common in this trip.

And I know the whole top paragraph is true. I make myself unapproachable (accidentally) because I'm too nervous to talk to others, along with being introverted.
I just know that I'm considered an "out-of-the-box" type of person to most people. Like, I have bad social skills that make people don't want to talk to me because I do stuff others don't like and I don't realize they don't like it.
