Personally I don't think, if you're questioning how to make it work, the character will suddenly start working for you. While advice can be given, they are so generic, and you seem to be pretty well-versed into said generic advice judging from the little snippet you posted.
Some people are great at portraying shy, socially awkward, antisocial, introverted characters. Others do better with the loudmouth outgoing type of characters. While I think it's amiable to give it a shot, I'd have a good look at yourself if you seem to enjoy this type of roleplay to begin with, because it sounds you're struggling with him.
That said, I know quite a few people who play quiet, reserved characers, and some, including on of my closer RP partners, roleplays a character who really, really doesn't do well socially due to the character's reason. However the players behind these character, nearly always, are social butterflies who are super creative. I'm not saying you're not one of those people in real life, because how could I possibly know?
What I'm trying to say is that some characters just don't work for certain people due to whatever reason. Perhaps I'm reading a bit too much into what little you posted though, but I'd just ask yourself whether you're enjoying this character/character trait first and foremost. Because to me it sounds pretty drastic that you're considering to create another character and dual box in order to make the original character work.
