Just be yourself

just remember that no matter what happens here, you are going to leave in X amount of time and literally no one will remember you one day later. its like most of life, except at the end you will be in a completely different country so you literally have no reason to be scared of being socially awkward, assuming you arent dealing with cartel.

Remind yourself that you will probably never see any of these people ever again, that you have no need to impress them, and that you are only using them (as they are using you) for the moment's company.
That won't be wholly true, but it is fairly close to the truth, and realizing that will take some of the self-imposed pressure off.
Go to the hostel bar, have some drinks, talk to fellow travelers. One of the easiest situations to socialize.
