There are times when even if you're the type to wait for others to initiate, that it's better to be the one. Same goes for the type that is very open and forward in situations, it's not always ideal to insert yourself into every conversation either, nor does everyone want to say hi and/or talk to you at all.
Do what is best for the situation at hand but in the end, no it's never wrong per se, to be the one that usually waits for the others to start up conversations.

Yeah true, I agree. It definitely depends on the situation as well. Sometimes it's best to wait while other times it may be okay to initiate. And yeah in terms of inserting yourself, it is probably not a good idea to do it with people you don't know. It's one thing if you see a group of friends your close to and you join them in their conversation but it's another thing to insert yourself into a conversation with people you don't know as a means of trying to get to know them or make friends. You're right, not everyone will want to talk. Some are more private than others.
