@PaweZ1 It's worth it- under certain conditions. Mostly, if you're using it to hang out with existing friends and VR is unavailable. It's not really worth it to use it on desktop as a single-player thing or to use it alone to make friends. Even as a VR player, it's rare to meet someone in-game that you'll be good friends with. Public worlds are hit-and-miss, usually leaning towards miss. I'd say make friends elsewhere, and use VRChat as a place to get together.

@PaweZ1 don't worry, you're not alone. I see posts almost daily on VRChat reddit about people dealing with social anxiety. That's why I specified existing friends. There's lots to do besides just chatting, but part of that depends on having someone who knows where those cool things are. Games and activities, etc. One potential way to get your voice out if you do want to go in a public lobby is to visit a karaoke room. There's a really great furry karaoke world I regularly participate in. Then you have a time when it's your turn to use your voice, and it can help break the ice.

@Vyath @PaweZ1 I think I spent the first handful of times just loading into avatar worlds solo, trying out new avatars and seeing what animations were in them. Over time I'd dip into more public worlds. Sometimes you might come across a friendly person who'd welcome you into a chat. Take as small a step as feels right. It's a wonderful game, even on desktop. World exploration is incredible too, if you're not up for trying chatting for the day. Tons of really wonderfully created places to see.

@JoeyJRoo @Vyath Just exploring what users have created does sound rather neat, tho I'd have no clue what to search for.
As for the games and activities, some of the more manual games would kinda suck if you do not have access to hand tracking, just using your mouse to move an item in three dimensions sucks enough in VRChat.
