Do you hang with anyone else each day?
It's good that you want to get to know a wide range of people, however it seems difficult when a few build a good friendship and form into a group, and usually stick to that group. Why do you think there's possibly intimidation though? If you have similar interests to them you'll probably mix well, and as long as you be yourself and just try your best to talk and mix with them, that's the best you can do=] I pressume they aren't shy, or are they? If they're not, you probably just feel like you do because you are. I feel the same when i try mixing with a group of people, i just try my best to be sociable and if it doesn't work i know i'll always end up finding someone to mix with anyway.=]
