what headset are you using or are you playing on pc desktop mode?
randomly spouting "yo what's up" seems like a weird way to break the ice on people you don't know, try to stand around people who are talking and join an ongoing topic with your own input but remember to not hog the conversation and to not make it about yourself, brief input and humor go a long way
vrchat is chatting game so knowing how to keep up a conversation and the basics of good conversations of back and forth are excellent to have, i can drop into any world and if it has more than 10 people i can find at least one good conversation there, it's about picking people to chat with who are not too busy, not in a tight group already and that are talking about something you know you can give your input on
here's a basic recipe for public discussion finding
1. roam around the map hovering near a group to listen in on what they are saying
2. if topic sounds like something you know listen a little more and wait until there is room to interject your 2 cents
3. give the others turns to speak too, listen more than you speak is a good rule of thumb no one wants to talk to a guy who just keeps going forever unless it's about some niche topic they are really into and they feel comfortable talking over you
4. don't be attacking or stuck up, even if you don't agree with their opinion find a nicer way to disagree than blurting out "that's bullshit", people don't like to be wrong so don't make them feel wrong with a blunt trauma, state your opinion as a opinion without putting them down for being wrong, the short term gain of being right and rubbing it in is not worth the long term harm of the bad habit of conversation you learn from doing that
5. make friends, if you had a pleasant conversation with people and they seemed to enjoy your company as well try adding them after you've talked with them enough, don't get offended if they don't accept your friend request some people have their flist full
