I would like to talk to my supervisor about this but do not want to appear paranoid or one who wants attention. Should I talk to her?

Definitely talk to her. It won't come across as paranoia nor attention-seeking if you word it right. Just explain that you are struggling to see how you fit into the team and whether she could suggest any ways you could make yourself a better contributer.
A good way on your own, if you don't want to talk to her, is to list some of your good qualities and try and work out how you work in a team.
There are many ways you can contribute to a team without being the one with all the ideas or the one making all the plans. Have a look on the net at 'team roles', it's likely you already are fullfilling an important role without realising it. The wiki page for teamwork has some roles.
But definitely don't worry about talking to your supervisor about it. It's what she's there for, so go to her.

Best bet? just keep quiet.. If the boss is one of those team player types.. you arent gonna change thier mind...
When I used to work (I'm retired now) I wasen't a team player... In fact when we had those meetings.. I stated.. A team player is just simply someone that isnt good enough to do the job on thier own.. they didnt like that much LOL

I would take your supervisor to the side and explain how u are feeling and maybe you guys could work together to make u feel better about fitting in.

I don't think you give enough information? But maybe if you phrased it differently? Like... I want to see your thoughts on my role in this team?
Good luck.
