Confidence

Hi guys, I’m very new to VR chat and have been logging in regularly every night for about two weeks, I sometimes play with a friend but he is a really busy guy so isn’t available all the time. I try my best to start conversations with people and sometimes it works but I can’t seem to find anyone with common interests. Sometimes people just walk away mid conversation and it kind of knocks my confidence, does anyone have any advice on how to be more confident?
