I am a mute from vrchat, I suffer from social anxiety and even though I don't talk that much I still enjoy being with people, life gets lonely when you are a mute but hearing people and just listening to them can improve my day

Really good video~ I've been a mute in VRChat for over 4 years now, and you can feel disconnected at times from things, but you can still have a blast and get involved with lots of things too as a mute ^~^ such an amazing game

We ran into a mute that wanted to play cards against humanity with us so we read there cards on there turn, it was pretty fun and hopefully they felt comfortable

A couple of my friends on Vrchat are actual IRL Mutes and so I began learning sign language and just knowing the alphabet you can already get so far. Being able to communicate to those people through sign language gives them so much joy to see random players taking there time to learn there language. So if you want to start learning sign language I do suggest going the worlds listed in the video because they are the best and most used ones. Go out there and have some fun and keep learning new things ! :3

WOW I got called out!! 0:09-0:11 Welp back to the sign world I go… Love the stuff! Keep up the amazing videos

I have met a few mutes over my relatively short time playing VRChat. I even have a couple in my friends list. At first i found it hard to communicate with them and sometimes that is still the case. However I have big respect for the mutes. Behind ever avatar in VRC is a person. That person is unique in their own way. And if they are mute than there is nothing wrong with that. VRC is a place where everyone can be who they want to be.

I love talking to mutes! They are always so friendly and I always get them to talk and it’s the most wholesome moment!

i'm a mute in vrchat most of the time, at first just because of social anxiety, but now i just legitimately enjoy the challenges and experience of communicating nonverbally and with my body. but my avatar also has four face textures i can swap between whenever so that helps a lot too.

I spoke sign with someone in vr chat and it was really wholesome

4:27 that look, vr chat gives off emotions perfectly 😂

It's fantastic that you can learn sign language through VRChat and in a community setting. Long ago when VR was fresh and the original Rift was the latest and greatest; I never imagined how useful VR would be, many people just saw it as a gimmick but now it's clearly more than just entertainment.

I absolutely LOVED seeing you make a video on this! When I play VRChat, it's usually late at night and I have to stay quiet, so I've been slowly learning ASL! It's not much really, but I can say "hi" and "how are you" to others and have made some good friends because of it :3

I'm a vrchat mute and this is such a great video, really detailed and informative, lovely jubbly!

Great seeing so many friends in this vid. Thanks for doing such a great overview of the community!

Body language and touch are the most powerful forms of communication imo. You can say alot more then most people trying to speak with words can if you're skilled at it. Imo, it's an art form. ^^

Good video, but it's a shame that it only scratches the surface. It would be difficult, given the subject matter being people who don't speak, but I'd love to see some interviews with mutes, and hear about experiences that mute players have had

It's really heart warming to see how vr brings so many people together. I've only had it for a month or two and it has helped me greatly with my depression and anxiety. Although I will admit sometimes it adds stress. The good outweighs the bad tho.

Didn’t expect a wholesome video this Monday, but always nice when you upload

i love the idea of bringing sign to vrchat to help those who dont talk, or those who are totally mute so much but just remember outside of learning through vrchat though if you do have an interest in learning any form of sign language to learn from someone who is deaf and not hearing

very interesting video. when i first heared of mutes i was thinking about playing vrchat because of severe social anxiety. didnt go outside or speak with someone for around 10 years. and vrchat seems to help a lot of people. i also didnt know that you have to get diagnosed with mutism. i thought mutes are either anxious or want to stay gender neutral. so thx again. learned a lot

One of my most recent friends, but has quickly became a great almost best friend was a mute. Mute players are some of my favorite players in VRC. I love learning how to communicate with them and a bit of the mystery they carry with them.

I'm not mute in IRL but in games, I like to be mute at times. this video really gives an understanding of people who wish not to talk. I meet a lot like this! sometimes it's best to take their time to warm up or to learn another way to communicate!

this is why VRchat can never be replaced its so established its a place of practically no rules but with rules that are unspoken it has communites like the helping hands community its so amazing and funny that theres sign language classes and worlds dedicated to the mutes the reason why Metaverse will fail? it will never be like VRchat it will be too restrictive and no creativity.

Thank you for clearing up what "mute" means in VRChat. I recently started playing and have met a lot of "mute" players. They're all really cool even though im horribe at talking 😅

Feliz Navidad :), yoooo u used Namis party . loved it !!!

great video! namis party was so fun! feliz navidad ;)

I know American Sign Language since I went to a special education school, however when I learned to talk with speech therapy and got into mainstream school where everyone talks all the time and no sign language, the only ones I see signs everyday are my interpreters but it's not the same with friends (my friends are either far away or went to college in a different state), I see my friends on social media but it's all text based/pictures. I did try signing in ASL in VRChat but I'm still adjusting with my Quest 2. Trying to sign while relying on buttons and sensors is going to take me a while, lol. I love to talk so yeah, haha. I know English, Spanish and ASL.

As someone studying ASL, I have a lead-up on some others if ever I run into Deaf or hard-of-hearing people.

i always get excluded from certain things and whenever i join my friends in vr games they often leave because they know i wont speak, i get ignored around 90% of the time, howver 10% i get treated as if im very cared for, i get a lot of attention and people speak for me, i think its an amazing thing seeing conversations youre in from an outsiders perspective, thats what being mute is.

I stay muted in vrchat most of the time, and im not sure how i found out about vrchat sign since it never really came up in my mind but now im so happy that i learned it because if i never learned some vrchat asl, i wouldnt have met the people i know now. Sometimes people dont understand me and i need to talk but i have some friends that ive never used my voice with so im scared if they hear my voice lol. But to whoever reads this i totally recommend learning, even if its vr sign or real life sign, just learn it if you really want to! Its super fun to be able to understand what people are saying to you. Depends on how i feel a certain day, if im not feeling well or not liking hearing myself i dont talk but if i dont care ill talk. I wont say im selective mute or mute because i feel thats not the right thing for me to say, so instead i say thst im either mute by choice or that my mic is muted but even when its muted im not talking. If anyone read this thank you and have a good day/night whoever you are

thank you for making this video! for a long time i was self conscious about being a mute and constantly got told "vr chat is a social game and the whole point of the game is to talk so why even play if you're not going to" it put me off the game for some time.. the small speech you did near the end about how its okay to not talk if thats how you want to play and how you can still have a fulfilling time ingame and make friends whilst being mute made me smile a lot. I had no idea people taught sign language in vr but that's such a cool idea and i think ill stop by those worlds to learn some stuff if i can :]

Im glad i found the sign community in VRChat. just another way for you to actually communicate if u cant hear or speak (by choice or not practical). sometimes i rather just sign because with sign language ur body language does play a big part to get ur point across and when ppl sound so "dead" inside this game, it just doesnt make it fun sometimes

Keep up the great videos Twice, the fact that you are in the AF (me being in currently), I understand how difficult it can be to make videos or have free time in general. We all appreciate what you do. -Aim High ✌🏾

0:58 WTF THAT'S ME IN THE BACK AAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!! 11/10 video, although my opinion may be biased now... Keep making great videos! 💚

sometimes i feel like if i talk, i'm masking, and i am more myself muted. it was so validating being welcomed and embraced by the mute community as easily as it was. i'm just comfier muted, and like you said, i can do so much more when no one expects me to talk.

Love your videos Twice

I am new to some of your videos but I am starting to love vrchat because of you

I'm pretty new to VRChat - but Mutes are some of the coolest I've bumped into. They aren't acting like jackasses trying to make instant shock-style impressions. They are just genuinely interacting... we could all learn from that.

as someone who grew up with deaf kids and help teach my class sign this is awesome.

I just now subscribed and I already love this channel

I just got into VR chat about a week ago, i invited irl my friends to play together. I can interact a lil bit with people if i am with my friends or a friend, but if I'm alone i will not say anything unless someone ask or said something to me . I'm still trying to speak to people more often without my friends being there. Overall i really like listening to people's conversation they're kinda fun to hear

This is a very cool video!!! As a Mute peep it's really cool to see stuff as this being covered

I've discovered I'm a selective mute in VRChat despite being fairly competent at conversations irl. Sometimes I feel like talking if I'm feeling a little confident, but a lot of the time I feel more secure just observing others and communicating with pencils in worlds that have them. I only recently discovered the chatbox tool. I've only been on for about 2 days though. I hope to gain more confidence (and friends) as time goes on :)

I like how this is the first video I watch to test if my new headphones are working

I was thinking about doing a video on this part of the community myself! But I think you hit the nail on the head with this one. I really like the small detail where you talked about the different "types" of mutes. People can be a bit toxic, and it makes sense that people don't speak up immediately, especially if you're a female in this game

Damn, I'm glad neko recommended me to watch twice's vids. They're pretty good, ngl

Vr chat gotta be one of my favourite game for the single fact that you can have basically infinite interactions

I keep myself muted cuz I get almost overwhelmed when there's a lot of ppl around, I started playing vrchat to help fix that tho, like I'm the same way irl and I thought vrchat is the best way for me to improve my social skills while still being save enough to just leave whenever

That is really awesome to see that even they can enjoy the game and have virtual sign language

I have left VRChat and playing ChillOut VR as to chill.

from what i can tell vr chat asl is similar to irl asl but with alot of limitation's (irl asl or just sign in general requires a lot of body language and also face expressions) but its cool to see people adapt to the limitations and overcome it love it!

I have auditory processing disorder, which in short term means, I don't have the ability to focus on sound, so it makes it very hard to understand people in certain environments. Thou what I found out while trying VR chat is that there is no background sound apart from other people speaking, and that if someone is talking far away from you and a person talking with you, is near you, I noticed the sound reduction is pretty strong which helps a tone, as if this was in real life, I would have to guess some words of what the person is saying to me. This kinda makes me want to get more into VR, as tbh even having gaming friends, it's hard as most of the time, even after heavily tweaking game sound and VC, it's not enough as VC and game sounds can get intense. Thou APD comes as a curse and a blessing, as it gives you highted senses, which helps alot in pvp pve games, I can hear enemy activity miles away but I ain't gonna be able to understand 90% of what your saying, to put it basically 🤣

Some things I find neat as a selective mute as myself is avatars with a mute bored! Mute boreds basically have different interactions like greetings, answers, questions, ect. Basically you click on what u want and what ever thing you click on, the word/words apper above your avatars head to make it easier to communicate! Tho they are rare, they are great for the mute community!

Another pog high quality video Twice! Just giving some praise for the algorithm. Hopefully this one blows up!

You are the best you actually changed the title of the video

i used to be a mute because i just hate my own voice. i'd play on desktop and use a text to speech program to speak to people. i've recently come into vr and have been pushing myself to speak more and more but for the most part im still quite silent

TWICE UPLOAD LES GOOOO

In my VRChat friends group we have a deaf person. She always plays with a friend that's translating the important stuff of our conversation to her in sign language. It's really hard for her to keep up when there are more than 4 people. When we are speaking directly to her we try to speak really slow so her friend can translate. Since I met her I don't care about mutes at all. Most can hear and have a mic but I don't judge them at all. It's a game and I won't discriminate anyone unless they are racist or offensive. Most mutes I've met were really nice and friendly. They tried their best to communicate with us even if it's just possible with yes or no questions. I rather be with mutes that are trying to be nice than speaking people that are weird. And we all know that VRChat has some of the most toxic and weird people out there.

being in the first frame of the video is a flex haha, love the content twice!

Aaa twice posted, I hope this heals my covid and gives me happy stuff when it's over 💜.

Hey man glad I got to meet you a couple nights ago ur friend shibachiba introduced me and showed me your YT and honestly this video quality is amazing keep up the great work man (btw i was the guy named tokyo)

I have selective mutism!! I'm working hard to try and become more comfortable with speaking in public spaces, and vr is really helping me with this. :>

God I'm such a nerd for VRchat Videos of it just make me happy

0:12 Damn you got my name right! I never expected those random callouts to be me.

That intro scared the shit out of me god damn

Hopefully we see this in vrchat documentary

As a person terrified of meeting people, this restores a lot of respect that I have for interactive spaces. I don't even own this game. Probably wont for a while. I don't get much out of socializing, I'm introverted as hell. ALL I wanted to say, is I respect and LOVE spaces people can go to learn more! And the fact that, for some people it can be attained for free, is fucken great.

Now that is nice video. Have not seen this video earlier, and i am creator of Sign&Fun. I helped deaf community since 2019 and my world was popular in old times. We have still to work at videos, and many videos need updated too because sign language is living language, changes over time. Stay mute has many reasons. Part is also due your voice and background, so you don't want others hear who you are. Can exposes your identity a bit by guessing gender and age, and accent will tell where you might come from. Social anxiety is another point, VRChat is good to learn to speak with others as therapy. And still we have some big streamers on Twitch which are still mute. So yeah it's possible. But as mute in VRChat, that is kinda hard to go around. Sign language is good solution because it's faster than TTS or keyboard / pencils. If you wish don't speak, go learn sign language! Respecting to have some look at deaf community and my world. My world is updated often and in future i want redesign world again to make it more comfy place.

Heyy I see some of my friends in bobs world! Kinda sad I didn't get a chance to interact with ya but I'm glad at least someone made this video. Awesome stuff ❤️

im mute for every online game i play because i suffer from real bad social anxiety but really trynna make an effort to overcome it

Babe wake up, new twice video

got trapped by one, was simping for one, mutes are the bane of my existence but i can't stop interacting with them

You make awesome content! 💫

No one is going to talk about when he said British sign language 🤣😂 1:28

Feliz navidad

I love the hard of hearing on vrc some of the nicest people

Bro it’s 1 am

love your vids twice

the mutes of vrchat end up being the nicest people on that game

Feliz Navidad!

Your videos are so good! Keep up the good work.

Yoooo another Twice video let's go!

Gender: A-10 thunderbolt II. honestly that caught me of guard LMAOOOOO

LOL Im a Matt felt hella called out LOVE IT

6:24 had my dieing for a moment

holy, when he said my name at the start.

Hey Feliz Navidad

This video just made me believe and have hope for humanity again...

My name is Matt and when you said my name you gave me goosebumps please don't scare me like that again

As a Brit myself, I can confirm our sign language is different variations of the middle finger 🖕

i like your vids your my favorite youtuber

Thought I would mention, the keyboard at 0:48 was made by yash I believe, either way good video!

This video was two minutes ago and I watched it in rapid speed

Twice will not have any concept at a moment bc he does everything lmao Great video btw

first time ever clicking on your vids and you say my name at the start of the video lmao

@ the 1:00 mark, little disrespectful my dude. Can’t count the amount of times i’ve heard “Naruto signs” or “gang signs”. But hey, still super cool to see our (helping hands) community represented and brought to the public again. Thanks for that

as a deaf, I find it really hard from hearing them and unable to understand what they're trying to say.

I met a mute person last night. She’s so friendly

Wow dude I really actually want to learn sign language irl and vr chat ^w^ I love mute people their just veryyy sweet ^w^!!!

Now get onto my level VRC Mutes! It is I someone with no vocal cords!
