Don't forget that we all started out as newbies too, so most of us do actually know what it's like. It's been this way for a long time.

Anyway, if it doesn't work, then I'd try to make friends on comments and messages and such (where I find that people are WAY more welcoming due to it not being in real-time while you're talking to someone else) and try to go on chat later when you get to know some people.
