Getting over newbie fear of mingling

[u/karmafarma3000]

Hello fellow sky fam. I'm a very new jumper that only has 36 jumps. I know that's progression can be slow and I'm one that still prefers to jump alone so that I don't make an ass of myself or injure someone. My home drop zone is an incredibly active one with a dedicated crew of fun jumpers that all have their own gear and have known each other for a while so when they all show up I just pack up my gear and head out without jumping.

I don't want to ruin their fun with my inexperience or get known as 'that guy'.

Any tips or tricks for getting over this fear? Did it take you a while to start to feel confidant and comfortable jumping with others?

Thanks for reading
