It's a skill. If you really want to learn, then you need to practice. A few good pointers can help get you started.
That's a power play.
Why are you afraid of rejection? If you're not talking to anyone, then you begin at 0. If you attempt to talk to someone and are rejected, you remain at 0. You've lost nothing in the exchange. If you're smart about it, you may even have learned something from the attempt, and you can use this knowledge to better your approach in the future.

Yeah I can see how it can depend on how you approach the group and how some may have a problem with it while other people won't care. And in terms of fearing rejection, I just don't like the idea of someone potentially rejecting me and them thinking I'm weird or annoying. I really don't have good luck in terms of meeting other people so that's why I just wait for people to come to me.
