Miss Hornet, there is much that could be said on this but I will offer one view. Work out what you like best from those who are the Active RPers, even note it down, and then make that your goal. Do for others as you want them to do for you.
You may find that there are some differences. here are some basic ones I think such as:
Active - has an idea where things will go or how things relate "cause & effect"
Reactive - responds to what is there with an intent to cause progression
Active - speaks little, adds in information and description
Reactive - speaks a lot, proposes ideas, examines the information available
Active - adapts the consequences to fit the actions occurring
Reactive - responds to things after they happen
