D'awww, no need to be shy Dawn. Many individuals of FeralHeart are actually very accepting and will gladly accept you into their roleplays. In fact, ever since I first joined this community (which has been a year ago though I just never used the Forums until now), I haven't witnessed one roleplay rejecting a certain member that succeeds their requirements. Each roleplay is different and so are the members within the roleplay. If you're more of a shy fellow, I recommend joining a more smaller group, like one newly made. If the individuals within the group are of your dislike, don't hesitate to leave with or even without an explanation. For trust me, it took me a while to find the floofs I hang around now. It just takes time and a welcoming smile. c:
Oh and trust me, I was a BIG derp and very shy once I first joined this game but now, I've learned a lot and came to trust most of the FeralHeartians and the community. I've opened up and made FeralHeart my virtual home. I'm sure the same will happen to you.~
