What should I do or not to do?

So tommorow my class will get an assignment for our next project, and this time, we are free to choose who we would like to work with and it has to be max of 3 people per group. I'm more like the lesser being in class, the not so loud one, the quiet speaker and preferably the useless?

But on a serious note, I don't know what to do. Should I speak up and ask people to work with me? Or should I just sit there and wait till someone ask me if I want to work with them? I don't want to become this type of person who sits there and people show me mercy and ask if I want to work with this or that.

Have it happened to some of you fellas before, and if so, how did you tackle the situation?

Find a smarty-pants and ask them to work with you. Don't just wait around and hope.

If the number of people in your class is a number divisible by three then wait until most of the groups are made and you see a group of two people and that's where you belong.Darthkaiser

Pick smart people who you know will pull their weight, but not so smart that they entirely outclass you. Chojuto

Speak up, I don't think sitting there and waiting for people has ever worked for me. Just look around for some people that aren't already in a group of three and ask them if they'd like to form a group with you.

I know what you are going through, i personally hated having to have partners to do work i preferred to work on my own, plus i was very shy in school so that was even worse, but what i did was i went up to people and asked if they wanted to work with me, the worse case scenario is they will say no and if that is the case then go ask someone else don't give up,but you should not sit there and wait for them to come up to you just go up and ask them

that is not always the case that you will get rejected the first time you ask someone, for the most part the first person i asked would say yes, plus who cares if they say no to your face they are no one special and obviously not worth working with if they are going to act like that

Seems simple to me, you said you don't want to be the person sitting there waiting for someone to ask them; so ask someone first. hockey73

I work alone unless its mandatory, then I'll join a group with the people I kind of talk to in class.
