Yes to all of those. I didn't really have a "goal" in mind when I started playing, though. I basically got dragged in by a friend, desktopping for about 3 months during early 2018. Then we both decided to get VR headsets. Got dragged into the game because of the sheer avatar creation potential. Back then I was a very shy person, with no hopes of ever finding a relationship and struggling to make friends.

Fast-forward 3 years, my social skills have improved A LOT, I find it easier to talk to people, I got into a relationship, moved out, and canceled my original plans for suicide.

Sometimes it feels hard to believe that the fucking Ugandan Knuckles meme saved my life.

Didn't turn into a normie though, I'm still my usual doomer self.
