If you find yourself having trouble breaking back into RP, you might try poking people you've never met ICly but who you think you'd have interesting interactions with. Maybe you can have an impromptu coffee with a villainous sort and get wise to his plans? Perhaps hot chocolate and a discussion of politics with a mage in Coerthas would help you reclaim your character's "voice?" You could always set up literally running into someone as a pretext for interaction.
If shyness is a factor, knowing that the scene is set up and ready to roll and that the group size is smaller might help. That way, the face threat is a lot lower than going into a large, crowded RP spot and hoping to catch someone's eye. I'm not saying that hanging out at a hotspot is a bad way to get into RP, but sometimes a small group or one-on-one scene set up in advance is easier to get into. Also, some people you might want to RP with may be hard to catch without setting things up in advance due to RL time limitations, the never-ending Soldiery treadmill, or just having a lot of RP on their plate. For instance -- not that there's ever been a huge crowd wanting to RP with me or clamoring for my time
-- I typically like setting scenes up in advance with people not in Mysterium, since I don't have a lot of time in game.
