No one really should feel obligated to hold anyone's hand. I'd say just being open to the opportunity is more than enough. If someone only wants to be around the same four people, that's fine. Some people prefer closed circles. However, the problem then arises if they lay that on the community as if it is the community's shortcoming.
I'm speaking as an RPer new to the community, and with the completely subjective opinion, that I don't find it closed off. I don't think the levels of an individual's shyness can really be helped by any community. All I can do is my part and do my best to reach out to people so they can find some sort of comfort in interacting with me on an IC and OOC level.
I think that is really the best a community can offer really when it comes to the extreme side of introversion. It'd be idealistic that everyone reaches out, but the handful, and large handful, that put themselves out there that do it are doing that side of it.
I guess I don't see another side to change besides in the individual. That's just me, however.
If nothing needs to change, then nothing needs to change. However the point of this thread is to discuss possible changes.
on both sides
