Yeah a lot of people feel social awkwardness, it's normal. Maybe come prepared to large group scenarios, with some jokes or anecdotes to tell so that you don't say something random that might not make sense to everyone at that moment. And hang out in more groups of people that you share common interest with and there will be plenty to talk about and you won't have to worry about it. Quiet can be mistaken for dumb, so just agree, or respectively disagree, or share similar experiences, and act interested in whatever they're saying.
Sometimes when I'm high with a group of people who are not high, I assume they are thinking things that they aren't, and it alters what I might say to them. People talk about careless ramblings in big groups because it can be uncomfortable to talk about controversial or deep issues, you never know what's happened in other people's lives.
