Personally speaking, I've never had a good experience with an introverted RP character. Mostly because I've never been able to tell an introverted character from a lazily played one who has nothing to say, or has some kind of agenda or something they are waiting to happen (erp).
It gets awkward because I want to include them in the RP, and I go into this mode where I try to socialize them more than they try to do it themselves.
I remember trying to RP with someone in the Quicksand, and they seemed completely uninterested in socializing at all...yet they were in the Quicksand, which is a social RP setting. It dragged on and on and I felt so drained, like I had to FORCE them to RP, and my partner who was with me eventually dragged in one of their more social friends and we hit it off. I felt kind of bad because the introvert we were RPing with was being ignored, then I thought to myself, "I can't keep carrying them around forever" and so I stopped trying to bring them into the conversation.
Then they just left, and whispered me OOC telling me how they were depressed because no one wanted to RP with them.
So yeah...sorry, but introverts are a type I actively try to avoid.
