i feel i dont belong even if its all foreigners in the club.
to tell u honestly
if its a group of americans or what i feel like i dont belong, get super shy and dont even bother to talk. hehe. ive been to a meetup party u see. lots of americans were there and others as well, and all i can do was stand. lolz.
im just shy i guess so clubs wont work..

Nope, I'm a guy, not a girl.
And the Interpreter and Guide Club I mentioned was all Japanese except for me. I did hang out with my fellow JETs quite a bit too, and went to many of the events the AJET organized.
Why don't you feel like you belong? IMO, foreigners of every nationality had a common bond by being "not Japanese", or gaijin (even if they were Asian). I made many friends from Canada, Australia, England, Scotland, New Zealand, etc. You have to be brave enough to take the first step, be friendly and open, and just go with the flow.
