Slow down a bit, don't forget you are an intelligent person so you'll be able to grasp new concepts quite easily. Spend more time socialising, join a club of interest to you. I'm sure you'll get on fine, think positive. How bad can it get and don't let other people(e.g. how talented, disinterested they look like) get to you.
