A tip on generating RP if you're having trouble finding it....be a crazy person.
No, I don't mean RP a crazy person, I mean essentially talk to yourself. RP by yourself in crowded areas.
I've had conversations with NPCs in shops before or comment on what you're doing there. My miqo'te in Limsa was doing the fishing quest, went to the market, found the vendor and I typed things like "Let's see....pill bugs...pill bugs. Ah, here we go!"
You can still come up short, but occasionally it's enough to start conversation with another RPer.
On the topic of ignoring others....hell, if you HAVE to ignore them.....ignore them IC and RP it. Emote that you look at them dismissively and return to your conversation, look to them and politely state "this is a private conversation, friend." Don't just "sorry, private RP" and dismiss them.
