Aha now I get to post on these too, Welcome! I identify a lot with your plight. What I have noticed is that if you're good at just typing, it's not that hard to tag along. In my opinion what you need first and foremost is a trade of some sort, something that you or your character does that you can sort of talk about. The few times I've gotten myself to approach someone they've been very open and you don't need a ready-made story, they'll be more than fine with you making it up along the way and as far as I know that's also how character development actually works, you just make things up as you go deeper into certain subjects. Though on that note I will say it might be a bit tricksy to stay consistent. Ultimately I project a lot of myself into my character, which helps a lot with that, but I have also read/known people who play their character entirely different from themselves and build a whole story around a different persona, though that is something I could never do. Regardless, I would say that's more advanced anyway, as far as I know most people just play a version of themselves with quirks, but that's mostly a hunch at this point I really don't know.
ANYWAYS, rambling aside, git gud at typing and get the courage to step up to people, and the rest ought to fall into place. Poke me at any time if you wish i'd be more than happy to have a chitchat IC or OOC.
