Hi Ely,
Welcome to RP!
You probably got a lot of good advice on engaging etc.. so I'll just take a moment to maybe offer some cautions points.
1. Find a good group and stick with them
There are as many ways to RP as there are people and you will find quite a bit you won't like. So find a group you feel comfortable with and RP with them while your confidence builds.
2. Avoid the main areas
Some may say Nooo! to this but to be honest these areas are a melting pot of styles and could either confuse, overwhelm or just plain upset and infuriate you. If you do go there, have a thick skin, and roll with the punches.
3. Have a simple story to tell
Have a simple ordinary story that is easy for you to tell and that others can relate to (and you seem to have that). Great RP comes from ordinary people in extraordinary situations, which is not an absolute but is a good place to start. That way you can play the "ordinary" while you get a feel for your style and the way things work.
4. RP
There is no substitute
As you get comfortable then you can branch out far more.
