go up and hang around with a group that seems interesting and has a bit of space you can get into. listen to the conversation a bit, let people get comfortable with your presence. laugh with them if you understand the jokes. and just put forward some words at some point when you hear a pause and there's a related comment you can make. you don't have to be super smart or witty here, just add something to the conversation without being cringe. before you know it, you're part of the conversation. if you need to, get some drinks in you beforehand. sometimes even just giving pats to someone similarly appearing to be quietly on the sidelines will allow you to strike up a conversation with them after a minute or several. beyond that, if you're in a vrg instance to begin with you should probably know someone there and you should really start by saying hi to them when you have a chance, and then hang around the area so you can get in with their conversation group. the only way you're really going to be a nuisance is if you start being super cringe or offended by shit.
