I think we're going through a similar thing! Most are already in their own clique, and it's quite difficult to fit in with that. I find it very nerve wracking and sad knowing I haven't got a place anywhere, not just OOC but then I'll need my characters to fit in too. xDÂ
I'm get incredibly anxious just talking to people, and getting into roleplaying is definitely a big step! But it does seem like it's a case of just.. going for it. The first few times doing it will be the hardest, but it'll get easier. Ideally finding a group of people who are on at similar times as you (that's definitely my biggest problem as I'm in the EU) would be helpful. Perhaps try some different linkshells if you'd rather not leave your FC? I'm currently looking for a FC as well.
I haven't had the guts to do it with anyone yet, but if you don't mind a newbie I'd happily RP with you if you wanted a partner. Or perhaps I'll see you while we both hunt for a group to join.Â
