<human>: Not sure if this is the place for this but basically, I need help overcoming some social anxiety issues. I've been told that I don't come off as awkward or anything, just that I seem quiet and sometimes my lack of engagement makes people think I'm a snob. But the issue is that I've always had a hard time relating to people my own age. I was an only child and my parents had me in their 40's and I have very little extended family. All my cousins are at least 15 years older than me, and I was home schooled in middle school so basically, I've never had a ton of exposure to peers my own age. I've never been a party person either (not that i have anything against it! I'd love to get more involved in the social scene of my peers! I just haven't before.)

I just got this new job working at a pool-side snack bar and I'm currently training with all the servers, lifeguards and other staff. All are around my age, many go to my college, and many of them know each other. I like them well enough, but whenever the conversation turns to parties or high-school friends, I just feel like I'm under attack and stop talking because I don't relate at all and I feel like anything I say will just reveal what an oddity I am. It drives me crazy that I don't feel comfortable just making simple conversation with these people because I'd love to get to know them and develop a social network but at this point I feel like I'm just going to become an outsider. 

Any tips for how to feel less uncomfortable or to form closer relationships with these people would be greatly appreciated! I currently have very few friends and know almost no one at my school so this job could pretty much make or break my social life for the rest of my college career.

Can you condense the text into three sentences or less?
<bot>: Feeling like I can't relate to coworkers when they talk about parties and high school/ college experiences is making it almost impossible to form friendships. How do I get over my anxiety?
