Sorry if this is "personal" and you're welcome to not respond to it. But is there any particular reason why you don't want to to run group content? Are you scared of anonymous strangers or something? Thats not me beating you down, some people are like that for various reasons, and thats ok. Im asking because there are ways to get around issues preventing you from enjoying activities with people and a lot of people willing to help. Take me for instance. IRL, being in groups doesnt bother me unless theyre new people. I dont shut down, but I get super quiet which is about a 180 of my personality if you where to know me personally. And yet i dont have an issue with public speaking. Weird right? /shrug.
If its the interaction/attention you get, let me explain how 90% of non-savage group activities go in FFXIV (and most can confirm this, dont just take my word for it):
*Activity Starts*
"Hi everyone"
*The entire dungeon is ran without a single word spoken*
"GG" (Good Game)
*Activity Ends*
If you're worried you are bad at your job, i wouldn't let it get to you. You gotta superrrrrrr suck to get anybody but the douchiest of douches to say anything (Ive ran into maybe 3 in my 1000+ hours) And if you're getting through the content this far, you cant suck that bad.
We might be on different servers but send me a FR if you want to Johnathan Riftborne on the server Goblin. Im on most night and am happy to roll some content with you.
