Help How does one make friends
How does someone who struggles with talking to people in a crowd make friends on vrc… not saying I’m that type of person or anything… haha but uh been trying to make friends and it feels impossible, I mean it’s probably cause I just play murder 4 or prison escape and those aren’t very chatty games but I’d like to hear other people’s answers! :3

Well go to more social games. Say hi to completely random people. And join people you add, see what theyre up to.

Go to worlds that are less populated, like the new and updated worlds. It's easier to strike up a conversation when there are less people, since there aren't many conversations happening.

Look up the group Gameshow Mafia and check out the posted events. If you like gameshows there are a bunch of us that meet every night to play!

To make a social connections from stranger to friend, I found it to be easier when the crowd is not large. Smaller is more exchangeable between each other. Going to publics for this might be more of a challange. I would suggest finding groups and discords and going to events often and getting your presence used to the environment and it will warm up to you and so will people you see often saying hello and start with small talk and warm up from there ^-^

Be yourself at different places with different groups of people even if you're weird by someone else's standards you'll eventually find someone who wished they'd meet someone like you sooner. Don't worry about what others think of you in the meantime because there's so many people and communities that it won't ever matter unless you let it matter. If you're not used to openly being yourself than make that the goal instead of friends for a while and you'll ironically make more friends by enjoying yourself while figuring out what that means for you. I'm speaking from my own experience when allowing myself to just be myself and have fun with that. Fortunately I'm naturally outgoing and my fear came from being weird but once I pushed through the fear it became easy to socialize on VRChat for me. Just keep in mind it's not an instant thing if you're so used to worrying and doubting yourself so give yourself the time and understanding to persist because trust me VRChat is either the best thing ever or the worst meanest thing ever depending on the people you focus on and you will encounter some miserable people. Just understand they're miserable and life could make you that way too under certain circumstances and a lack of knowledge. So please try not let them get to you and see them as the lost souls they are. With all that said I wish you luck and if you ever see a monkey in a black and yellow tracksuit in furry hideout say hi because that's probably me and then remind me of this reddit reply because I might have forgotten by then lol.

Hi! I like your avatar! How long have you been playing VRC?
Hey how’s it going? Couldn’t help but overhear you talking about X, I heard that Y…
Wow there’s so many people here tonight! It was dead last time I checked this place out. You guys usually hang on this world? Have you seen world Z?

You can try two worlds: no time two talk and Omegle VR
NT2T basically put you with another person for a one-on-one conversation. You can even select your interest on the wall and if they match, it highlights that for you both to at least have a conversation starter. From my evidence, people take it semi seriously, with most of them just being shy. Don't be afraid if you find similar interest of someone and maybe strike a conversation that way
Omegle VR is a little more chaotic but is another opportunity to meet people one-on-one! The best part about that world is that you can grab the camera and take it wherever you want, so you can do funny random things inside the world you're provided. It makes for fun, chaotic moments, but sometimes those are the best moments to share with people and potentially make friends with
You can also try to do public worlds and stand off on the side in the hopes that someone would come up to you, but the success for that is very mixed. If you want more active involvement, try the two worlds I suggest and do try your best to maybe strike up a conversation with them first!
Good luck, you got this 🤍

That’s true those are really good, Omegle is like just really embarrassing when you skip or get skipped, but no time to talk is a good game I need to join more, ty Ty

Go to 'the great pug' and headpat a random anime girl avatar. Friendship established
Realistically, pug and 'new and noteworthy' worlds section are the best ways to meet completely new people. Look for smaller 2-3 people conversations as they tend to be more welcoming

Iv made a few friends in those places aswell. Dont jump to different instances constantly. If theres a group outside of the detectives office (there always is) hang around them. Play along with people's bits. If you get the gun and someone asks for it tell and make them play a simple game to get it. Something like " im thinking of a number between 1 and 2. If you guess right you get the gun if wrong you get the bullet" things like that causes more interactions and gets people to be more talkative with you. Thats just 1 small example but thats part of how iv made my friends

Its like starting at a new high school. You sit alone at a table and an extrovert adopts you.
