So I'm curious...

In the situation where there are people around you pretty much 90%+ of the time, and they are in groups... Well, what is the best solution to this:

I end up feeling shitty, and I am in a crowd of happy people playing games or talking. Do I try to talk to one, and possibly make them awkward, or bring their mood down? Do I try to talk to the group? Or do I just grin and bear it?

I've been going with the later, as I do hate brining the mood down. I really like seeing people happy, and it hurts me so much to make others unhappy.

So what _is_ the solution?
