Hello Aranya,
As a note about the groups on the Linkshell hall, while you can only have one FC, feel free to touch base with the staff of a given group, many of them have linkshell alternatives.
All the following advice is based on the assumption that you're on Balmung. (If you could add your character and server to your character profile that would be helpful for any future suggestions.)
Also feel free to take a look at and join any public events you might see on the Calendar. This might not be a long term solution, but there are quite a few drifters and many of the events will happen over a long enough duration you can play the "Slowly works their way into a more comfortable area" person without feeling rushed If (i'm understanding the desire correctly). While we haven't set a date for the third Coffer & Coffin event it will be open for all to attend.
I suppose part of the problem may be that most "IC" linkshell require an invite or for you to already know a someone to be invited. May I suggest checking out the "Intermission" linkshell? its the official OOC linkshell for the RPC on Balmung, there is of course a Gilgamesh equivalent. This could help you find out where people might be for a while and what groups might be looking for some one to interact with in a given area.
Hope that helps, and know that there's plenty like you quietly making their way in the world as well. I myself have made a successful effort to stay, more or less out of the way due to a mixture of IC and OOC reasons.
Hope to see you around Eorzea.
