How can I feel comfortable in a social setting with multiple people.

[user20266741]

I absolutely hate being around a lot of people, especially if its around a table and were sitting together and are supposed to talk.

I look at people sitting a lot of people together with people they barely know, and I wish I could be like that. I just feel terrible in settings like that.

I dont want to like being in such situiations, but I would really like tolerating it.
I'm Neurodivergent (autistic) and this might be giving me some sort of social anxiety.
Being in these situations is like torture to me, any tips on how to get better, and can anyone relate?

I want humanoid opinions, not some AI slop

nobody really cares that much if you have an awkward moment, youre overthinking, dont try to impress anybody or be a people pleaser
