I still get a lot out of meetings if I don't share. It's just nice to be in the same room with people going through the same thing and hearing their stories.
As a newcomer, you don't even have to approach anyone. They usually come to you lol. Most meetings ask in the beginning if it's anyone's first time. Just raise your hand and say your name. It's a great way to meet people and get some numbers to call if you struggle. At my first meeting, I just introduced myself and said I needed help. I was swarmed.
