Just hang out until you feel comfortable enough to speak even if it feels boring right now. Alternatively next time you can put something on your avatar to indicate you're from the thread and new (i.e. the newfag that joined us last weekend put a shirt on his avatar that said "i'm from the vrg thread" and that got him immediately introduced to people without him even needing to say many words). People are generally welcoming to newfags when they know they're newfags and not just a random white name.
