Group placement sucking my soul and spirit... any advice?

I know I should not be complaining because actually obtaining the offer was hell on earth. But group placement is like the combined PTSD of going thru recruitment + having to maintain a fun and fresh vibe because you need to be likeable and not seem like a freak even though you are severely stressed. Any advice on navigating the process + how many phone calls you should be having? I feel like it's difficult getting people to chat even after getting positive reviews + people connecting me with other people.

this sounds like MS. don’t worry too much. even ppl in C&R / NR get top megafund looks. don’t sweat it there isn’t that much of a discrepancy between exits across groups it’s primarily self selection
