I suggest you ask a friend to go with you and stay at your side, that way you'll always have a friend at your side and the friend can instigate small talk with others until you feel comfortable enough to join in.

I was bullied in grade school--it sucked. Took me years to get over the belittling comments and try to find some semblance of myself that I love.

Have a certain attitude of anger that translates to self-confidence. Go into a social situation with an attitude of love, but if someone tries to bully you, stand your ground in a conversation and be prepared to bully them right back. That's what I do, and it works well.

Or be prepared to walk away and join some other people in a coversation...either way, you're in control, not the other person.

I know how you feel my mother cut my hair so short I looked like a little boy....I guess that is why I am a tom boy.

You can mix and mingle by asking someone a question, ask what their take is on something...complement them on what they are wearing...ask questions about their hobbies if they are painting at that moment...things like that.

I was never bullied...I always stood up for myself. Not sure why...but I have seen my friends behave like this and I told them how wrong it was.

I am a moderator of a import car forum and being I am 38 and most of the people on their are like 18- 25 I was afraid I would not be accepted when we got together for a meet.....just be yourself, ask questions, comment positivley and they will start talking to you.

I hope this helps.
