Activity in RPs

Sorry for the little rant that is about to happen but i need to let this out.
I don't understand those people who join rps and only talk to like 4 people there. When there are 40+ people they could talk to. And when they get a warning due to barely any activity then they complain. Like- really?? RPs live from people being active. If we all just focus on the same 2 people then all places will die. Newcomers won't feel welcome and leave again right away.
The worst are those who make up excuses. Its goes from being busy ooc to even having social anxiety. Sorry but all those are lies. If someone has social anxiety they don't join RPs. And they would even less date in a RP. It just sounds more dramatic to say stuff like that. Here's a little thing about social anxiety if you wonder why i say those are lies: https://www.webmd.com/anxiety-panic/guide/mental-health-social-anxiety-disorder#1
And about being busy...if you are busy all the time then you also couldn't reply to your partner. Like, you can reply as soon as your partner comments on your post but are too busy for the other 5 comments? Who is supposed to believe that?

If you can't even talk to more than 4 people, even though there are so many more nice people, then why are you in a RP? You just make people feel weird when they approach you and don't get a reply or just one line. And some people might pity you when you whine about how you're being "forced" to talk to people but that's what RPs are there for???

Thanks to everyone who managed to read my whole rant-

I feel like I know which rp you are talking about but I won't make assumptions. I would like to state that people can talk to more than four people but if those others don't make effort how do we make the same effort back? People do have lives, issues they have to work on they can't focus on being there 24/7 or always trying the most. Why are they excuses? Being busy in ooc or having social anxiety. As someone who has experienced social anxiety it's a real illness. It's tough and really hard to get through, you can't make small of someone's mental health disorder for the sake of trying to prove your point. I don't have "proof" to back up my words but as someone who suffers from major depression disorder and a bit of social anxiety it's wrong of you to say things like that. For me, I barely reply to my partner as it is, yes sometimes I do pick their comment over others because that's how much I can give to a human being at the moment. I am not saying it's right to be inactive and not speak to other people or even put a effort in but if people belittle the effort I do, it isn't right at all. I have been told several times by my partner if I do not want to speak to people why join the rp and it is the truth. If this is the rp I think it is then what you said would have a while different meaning considering having a larger group be uncomfortable with the way things are handled means the members aren't the ones in the wrong.
