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 @bunnyconda if i’m editing a base, this is almost inevitably the first thing to get stripped out or placed in a menu, i’m not remembering hand gestures, and the palm extenders i use on the controllers make the grip sensor a bit inconsistent anyway
i think it has helped us a bit, but i still do the same things of either clinging onto one person for a lot of the morning or drifting aimlessly between groups
@Dex @hexadoodle Drifting around is what I usually end up doing, if anxiety doesn't take over; the groups I tend to have the most fun with nowadays are centered around a game or something so there's at least always something to do even if the game itself isn't the central focus (which I dislike anyway if I'm not on specifically for a game meetup, my index thumbstick has gotten more and more unresponsive over time, makes actiony games practically unplayable)
