I'm sorry to hear you're having a rough time still.
I think it's good for shy people to try and join some Linkshells (or FC's.) Depending on the LS concept, it's a unifying tool that helps not only with OoC networking, but they also gather characters ICly under a common goal. Most LS's will also have websites to interact through and their own events to partake in, and consist of friendly sub-communities.
I acknowledge that it's not for everyone, but if you're still having troubles after a time, I'd give a good look through all of the ones listed in the "Linkshells" button. There is likely one in there that has a premise you'd find appealing!
