Well, of course it varies with the situation, but generally speaking I find that a room with more than 3 strangers in causes me problems. I can butt in to a conversation amongst 2 or 3 people, but anymore than that and it gets too crowded.
In such a situation, it is not uncommon for a separate conversation to break off, this puts pressure because the other conversation always looks more fun. With just 2 strangers there is no third person to pick up the slack in the conversation.
It's all about numbers.
