VRChat is helping me realize how fake all human interaction is.

I've been hanging out with a friend for a while and he recently changed his avatar. His old avatar has a default smiling face and lots of smiling gestures, whereas his new avatar has a default bored/sad face and lots of faces look like they're uninterested or filled with disgust or disdain.

Even though my friend acts exactly the same around me this entire time, in the past I used to feel like he's always happy to see me, and now I just feel uncomfortable around him and like I'm doing something wrong or there's something bad about me.

Kinda sucks to know that 50% of what I feel about people boils down to some pixels on a prefab.
