bunnyconda . @bunnyconda,

Trying to reconcile the fact that I've always been extremely poor with social interaction and that 3 years of VRChat has done absolutely nothing to alleviate that

@bunnyconda Vrc is a lonely place, yeah. Seems like you only get noticed if you have a fancy avatar.
I think the weirdest thing is that certain avatars change facial expressions depending on really subtle changes in the controller grip. I never know if my face matches what I intend to communicate. Real life communication is easier than this.

@hexadoodle It really depends on who is there, I've been in groups of friends and acquaintances where the most interaction I get is 10 seconds of saying "hi" before they go back to their impenetrable circle, and I've seen others actively pull people in, even with so little in common there's never a dull moment around them. Very similar to cons in my experience, and it's frustrating because getting better at approaching people or making stuff happen on VRC should translate to getting better IRL but I've just remained bad at both this whole time.

The expression thing is something I found annoying and disabled early on, and since then have pretty much never even considered using them until recently (as I want to add some on an avatar I made)
