I've only been around for a short time on Balmung, as well as FF14, I'm surprised at how much RP happens. Thats a good thing. 
My character Kiht'a is somewhat of an introverted character, however, sometimes I'll have him just walk around a bit, look at people, and one of his flaws is, that he is curious of people, but lacks the confidence to actually say hello to them or meet new people. He's only been in the wilds most of his life, as well as only around Miq'ote Keepers. Cities and new odd people are a bit of an anomaly to him.
Despite that, I do have him try initiating things. He'll muster up some courage, and nervously approach whomever. Most times I send a tell first because the chat gets very clogged. I've learned the hard way if I try to just walk up, sometimes the person wont see it.
I think even as a introverted character, RP can be initiated. Does the character have quirks? A clutz? Need to find something? I try to find any little thing I can grab to use for initiating RP.
But I will say, it was indeed intimidating OOC at first. So many people, and me not knowing much of the lore quite yet makes me a little nervous because I don't want to sound silly IC. I also understand those who have had negative reactions. But don't let it get to you. If someone gets offended by you simply asking to play with them, they aren't worth your time.
I do hope some wallflowers will come my way though! Kiht'a needs friends!
