For me it's less performance anxiety (Kell being Kell will cause awkwardness regardless of whether I screw up or not) moreso than not having an "in" most times. A lot of the usual suspects know each other and have been through thick and thin. I've no problems RPing with people I've been with, but when it comes to complete strangers, I've got barely anything in common with them so I have to bank on them approaching me or get no RP.
I mean, I didn't know Aya or anyone from that night, but once I found an in, I just got there, and fun times were had by all.
I just need a hook.
I can only say that I've not had a TON of paragraphs, usually just concentrating on simple gestures and speech, yet there is no problems. Keep in mind I often emote if there's an adequate one, and move adequately. I use my in-game avatar as a way to communicate non-verbally because we have that tool.
