i'm not even socially awkward (i think), but vrchat confused the fuck out of me
>installed vrc
>first time experiencing having avatar body rendered on me, which felt very unusual
>lots of new feelings in general, game felt magical and endless at the moment, all of the mysteries to discover
>found a cute tiny loli avatar, used it
>someone's trying to talk to me a bit later, in another world
>holy shit, what do i do? i'm a guy
>is it weird? should i talk? why is he even talking to me
>literally fighting the urge to run away
>gave some half-assed answers, all confused
>took me couple attempts to get even remotely comfortable about talking in game
[spoiler]i only started feeling fully comfortable when i've joined vrg in vrc, and only because i knew them from pavlov earlier[/spoiler]

so yea, it takes some time. it's really confusing to join the place without well defined social rules, i think you're (and i was) unconsciously trying to be one of cool kids, but you have no idea what makes cool kids cool here. try to suffer through it if you feel like it, it definitely gets better
