Help! I joined Mixed Martial Arts with no prior experience...?

I joined my school's MMA club without having any experience with wrestling, boxing, kickboxing, etc. and I feel like I'm about a thousand steps behind everyone else in the club (most of which are guys, by the way). We've mainly been learning wrestling-type moves, which I'm learning slowly. Is there a way that I can get better at this stuff faster? When I ask people for help and they ask what I need help with, I say I need help with pretty much everything. They seem to be confused or annoyed when I say that and walk away after helping me with one move. I'm learning the techniques, but I want to use them in fighting situations so they'll eventually come naturally. However, no one seems to want to be my partner. I feel stupid and hopeless right now. What should I do?
