You'll be just fine, Jeff. Sometimes you DO have to force yourself to be the one to initiate conversation. I've had to do the same. Even though I'm on the sales side at work and can talk to anyone, outside of work I'm a very shy guy. Like you, I usually come off as a tight ass or snob. I was just waiting for someone to talk to me first. It used to bug the crap out of the wife, as outgoing as she is. Plus, I'm not a chit chatter. I'm not a person that likes to talk just to talk. Maybe sometimes, but usually not.
Now I try my best to talk to people and I surprise myself.
You'll find your groove.
