I suspect it's actually a pretty common feeling. A lot of role-players push for events as being a major source of role-play - and they'd be correct - but they're most certainly not for everybody. I tend to avoid them myself simply because they can become very busy and difficult to follow, people accidentally overlook each other or it can be hard to come up with a reasonable justification for one's character to show up in the first place.
My advice? When you first hear or read about an event post in the event thread itself or relevant Linkshell asking if anybody wants to join you there for mutual interaction. You'll often find that a lot of people are in the same boat! Alternatively if you simply show up try to do your best to identify somebody else who seems to be on their own and focus on approaching them. Poking those you're seeking to interact with with a gentle offer to get involved with their role-play may work as well - sometimes people aren't interested in getting involved with outsiders but most of the time they may simply overlook an emote directed at them; especially if the chat is moving very quickly.
