Grow some balls and tell people to fuck off IC if you don't want them to be there IC. That's roleplay for you.
Snark aside, the point I'm making is that you're dealing with a gathering of a people who - by nature - tend to be shy, reserved, and afraid of stepping on toes. Sure, not everyone in the culture is like that, but it's a known thing.
Also, someone's personal nature - especially considering something like stepping into the unknown or approach to potential conflict - is not something they can easily turn off. Some can, many can't.

The fucking point I'm trying to make is that it's not rude to just come up to people and roleplay. It's goddamn roleplay, not running into their irl marriage and shitting on their table.
