if youre super social and awkwardly introverted, you have to try VRChat

Wow... cant believe ive taken so long to do it. I knew it would suit me but i was just too scared. Although it comes with its own difficulities! Youre gonna meet a lot of people outside of your age range. Youre gonna look around world for hours without talking and feeling even more lonely, seeing how fun other people can have it, while you cant. But if you stay for long enough you will gain the courage to say some cringey shit that devolves into you ending up talking to people for hours, and you wont even remember how it started or how it keeps going on.

Pro tip: a bottle of alcohol is essential if youre anything like me.

Spoke to males and girls, debated with people over poltics and the bible. Talked about my trauma and drugs. All while in a freaking furry server, cuz it's not like that. People are chill, theyre all socially handicaped in some way. Freaking perfect.

Sounds like you have found a new outlet where you do not have to expose the real you.
That can be a weight lifted off your shoulders.
Being socially awkward, in public can be debilitating and forcing one to hide away from the real world.
VR sounds great. A place you can go to and relate to other, possibly socially awkward people.
I hope you enjoy your new experience and make some more friends. 🙂

@Gusman Gus, did you get a better price for the plane ?

@Gusman It's like SW when it wasn't destroyed, but with voice, which makes it more intimate.

@MartinTheFirst Yes, SW has gone backwards with the ridiculous algorithm telling us what we are entitled to see.
I wish you well with your newfound outlet. 🙂

@CreyvinMoorhead I booked a flight for $329 plus $20 for a seat, plus $1.50 for I know not.
$350 total. Arriving in Melbourne at 1.30pm.

Thanks for the laughs

@CreyvinMoorhead That's it. Going under, down under. 🙂
