>people get bad first impression of you
>surprised that people who knew you for that bad impression don't like you
>have to literally reset your online persona and try again
>people do not automatically dislike/behave badly towards others, they were just treating you based on the persona you adopted
it's the same thing as you joining a new class, first impressions matter if you adopt the role/persona of the class clown people expect that you enjoy the role and behave accordingly
i think you're washing too much responsibility of your own previous actions out of the picture to see it clearly, don't get me wrong i am glad that you are treated how you like to be treated now but maybe you weren't treated like that before due to your own behavior that people learned to know you by
i've done some colossal fuck ups during my time in vr but i carried it with me with my old name, i believe it is cowardice and disingenuine to run from your mistakes, you learn much better when you haul your ass up from the ground after falling instead of putting on a new mask but that's just me personally that path is not for everyone
