My character is a bit on the anti social side. In most situations she's dragged to events or forced to go from some other force when she'd rather be doing nothing better than working at the forge and getting her orders taken care of. Her job alone forces her hand in being social and entertaining her clients (even if she would rather strangle them for the poor condition some weapons or armor comes into her shop in..).
I worked out ooc things when I was first starting or just pushed the idea out there of what my character did or hung out at. Maybe even find quirks to add like they may become chatty or more open to conversation if such and such topic came up or some odd amount of drinks were consume. Some folks get way more chatty if they hung around the bar for a few hours or if a topic they really held knowledge of came up in passing.Â
Even if it's just correcting someone like "No it's pronounced this way." (maybe asking someone if it's ok to butt into a conversation first though to be polite about it ^^). This of course would draw attention to your character and whoever you were addressing would likely react or at least the character would to the situation.Â
Shoot.. I tried to avoid going to events just because ooc I didn't like trying to keep up with the walls of text. Yet somehow my blacksmith was dragged to everything from the large dances hosted to the summer swimsuits.. Once you get a few characters who put up with or are attached to your character things may very well be easier. Most of my contacts I met either on the road in some small rp meet and greet or in the drowning wench. The other handful were probably clients ic'ly and tried to get her out of the shop whenever possible due to her work-a-holic nature.Â
Also I second what C'kayah  said. Put down what you really enjoy. I normally said simple things like common rp or small adventures, blacksmith work etc etc. Just give them some idea about what your character would talk about, do or be interested in. Some little catch. ^^
