There's a lot going against you here, Nara. Shy character combined with a name and class that might make people take a second look in the worst way and an unwillingness to coordinate RP. This isn't a knock against what you enjoy, just the fact that your own standards severely limits RP.
RP is an investment, you get what you invest in other people. Random, spontaneous RP is like a high risk investment. It might pay off big time but more often than not it's going to crash and burn over and over again. I'm not sure if there is anything that I can say to help you, outside of be willing to step out of your boundaries and compromise what you want with what others want to create something that works for everyone.
In a lot of ways breaking into RP is like a new artist trying to make a big break in the art scene. You've got to have a style all your own, something that interests others in wanting to know more, to invest in you and your character's future.
The number one thing to remember with RP is that everyone is putting time into the game and their characters. You, the person across from you and the rest of the people in the Sands. What makes you unique, interesting and engaging enough that others want to get to know your work?
