If you can then try pushing yourself out of your shell just a few times to interact with people and maybe show that you're trying to get involved and meet people and have a good time.

People in VRG almost all put up strong faces and shit and some of them are actual assholes who will laugh in your face if you show weakness or something. But the other 4 out of 5 people are actually really cool, understanding and friendly. And if they see someone shitting on a newfriend they'll at least come and take you under their wing afterwards.
