Yeah, which is the problem, though my character does interact with others, he doesn't talk much, which is why I tend to do more "action" RP, my character doing movements and all that take up the bulk of my writing. Plus anything can peak his interest, like any character they have their own likes and dislikes. He will talk at length about something someone else likes, but the wall is getting past the introductions to get at the "heart" of a character.
If characters don't share interests then it's just like real life and you move on, everyone's friends with people that share their views, like the same activities etc. I have never tried to force something just because I like someone. Don't cater to a persons character by only talking about their interests, just go with the flow and if it goes there it goes there if no then it doesn't. Which is why RPing introverts is hard because people do walk away, but the ones that stay can become very long term friendships.

Without gripping the sword, I cannot protect you. While gripping the sword, I cannot embrace you.
