I used to put my hands on my pockets too, but now I just stand normally, or just place them on your waist. About talking I don't worry about it anymore I usually care too much about how people react to what I say, (I say something and look their faces, to see how they react) I just say what I want now.

Also, do some exercise is really good, go out, ask for things etc, get used to talk to people.

Doing your job is more important than bullshitting with coworkers.

You can bullshit later. Ask them to hit a bar with you for a beer sometime. Don't feel like you have to though, lettting their expectations rule you is worse than them thinking you're an antisocial weeb.

OP here, that's probably one of the biggest reason why I prefer to stay quiet in big groups, afraid if I slip out something stupid and get judged by it.

Nope. No way but challenging those fears directly and getting really uncomfortable for a long period until you realize how dumb it was you ever worried about it in the first place.

I started to socialize more at work and realized that like 90% of the stuff people talk at work is shit about other co-workers behind their backs.

Trips have spoken.

Don't worry so much, just relax. Work comes first always, then just practice talking about whatever with them. Throw in some good input here and there, quality over quantity.
