VRChat is actually really good for that. You get to be a cute anime girl among other cute anime girls, and your facial expressions are toggled by explicit commands so you don't need to worry about sending the wrong signals. Additionally, a lot of other people in VRChat are into what you're into, and are looking to make friends as well. It can get you over the hump to become confident in your social skills IRL.
Just don't exclusively rely on /vrg/ meetups for this. They will initially kick you as a rando, then later swarm you with attention because you're new and might be someone cute to lewd with, and you don't have the baggage of having been around here for years and getting into drama with other people. Then, once they know you, they'll get bored with you and you'll be ignored again. If you're entirely dependent on /vrg/, that's when you stop playing VRChat and sell your headset.
Please, for the sake of VR adoption, play VRChat but make friends outside of this place.
