You do not have to do anything. You do not have to introduce yourself. You can just go to a meeting and listen. I will say that what you put into it makes a difference in what you get out of the program but that is for down the road.
Everyone is different so their comfort level varies. If you want to stand up and introduce yourself when they ask about newcomers then do so, if you don't, then don't. There are no set rules what you must do, it is more in line of what you are willing to do.
Go, listen and soak up the environment. Look for a young peoples meeting or a beginners meeting. What is the worse that can happen?
