Vrchat has ups and downs, i have spent 19,292 hours in this platform and found out a lot about me that i never knew, but its also with the hours i spent there also almost killed me., i got sucked in so bad that i could not get out i laid in bed for over a year with that headset on, my legs started going numb i lost 75 pounds from not taking the time out to eat. but i also found out about my mental problems i never knew i had, but i also found the love of my life on vrchat and we now live together i have gained my weight back and my legs are back to normal my mental state is better. just be careful with this platform i now only spend 3 hours a night on it.

Wow. That's insane, yes I have a real life outside vrchat, I work and care for a family, so this is notmy entire life, but I have found amazing friends and things you can do, it is however all in moderation like most things in life

in reality though, i think vrchat is a great thing for people who are socially not fantastic to kind of, in a way, figure out their own way to branch off and become your own personality. but i will very much admit that it does feel very much of a tool that needs to be used responsibly, i've come and gone in my god knows how many hours spending learning who a person is and there was a very large pattern in people using it as escapism for their home lives or their problem and i saw as people ive met there only do this and just stay on their headset all day. since then i have resorted to using it only as a way to keep in touch of real life friends that have now turned into long distance due to having to move or whatnot.
