That if I had found rec room sooner, my social anxiety wouldn’t be as bad because I actually learned how to socialize and gained some social experience that I’d never gotten before, so now I’ve been able to talk to 2 people irl without having a panic attack lol
This is why I love rec room. I just like the chaotic rec centres, the random players who always make me laugh somehow and most importantly have good time with everyone
Thank you for that. I'm just getting started with my Son in RR and it has filled that void that's been missing. Seeing him being able to interact with other kids and just be a...kid, is priceless. We appreciate your sincerity.
thanks Jason!! It filled a void for me too, it's great having so many friends and making all these fun memories, especially during uncertain times like a pandemic. Take care!
6:15 aww :,) all my friends in rec room are just random people that i friended 5 seconds after meeting them lol happy to hear that you got a lot of close friends from rec room!
I use to be crazy addicted to rec room during quarantine, now I haven’t played for a while but I know it’s coming back. I’ll be readdicted soon it’s only a matter of time
i just started playing rec room a few weeks ago. i have really bad social anxiety. so far ive not been able to say anything in voice chat. even typing is scary for me. i had like 3 panic attacks in a row while trying to talk to someone.. it makes me sad that i cant make friends as easily as others.. but i will keep trying!
Those friends u meet ARE real friends and usually more accessible. Met most of my friends in MMOs in the 2000’s. I even met my rl husband in a game. Been married 10 yrs now. He became a firefighter n we have 2 kids hahah Did a search to see what Rec room was abt for my 12 yr old. Can’t seem to find one directed at the parents as far as keeping ur kids safe n all… BUT this was a good intro at least and ur voice is so charming/calming 💛 👍
My tips for keeping kids safe on rec room - Check in with them often, put them on a junior account if they're under 13 (it's the rules, they can't talk to other people though), have a chat with them about street smarts (basically same as anywhere on the internet. Don't trust people, don't let people ask you for personal information, etc) It's a great game and the bad people are few and far between, but one must be aware that like anywhere on the internet, sketchy people do exist unfortunately. Thanks for your comment! Maybe I will come out with a video like that in the future! :)
Things I wish I knew BEFORE starting Rec Room, building relationships, having a best friend, make your own game, do not go to PVP's, toxic as a snake, feeling like you're in the environment, create memories from the past. Bottom line, I love Rec Room, I play it everyday, and I can thank my brother for giving me this game. 5:35 hahahahaha my new head! I have social anxiety, and I am a shy person as well, so it's not just you. Rec Room has changed my life of gaming. I had no friends at all before joining Rec Room, now I have a best friend, gained more subscribers on my channel and more followers on my Instagram.
Definitely wish i'd favorited people from the beginning, now some great friends may be buried in my list and it's way too long to sort through at this point! Also agree about the 'shy' thing, get out there, say hi, ignore the toxic ones and have some fun! I actually love playing the quest games a lot, but I still get into other rooms from time to time.
Hi Tara!,I want u to know that thousands of people love u (including me,by the way you probably think I’m really weird I commented on three of your videos i just love your videos lol 😂 )and u make me smile every time u post a video!❤
Number 10 is very true. My family doesn't really understand and considering I have no relatable friends in real life rec room is like life changing. I sorta describe it as therapy to "close" friends.
There was a some sort of magic about opening the watch the first time and teleporting to that room,if I had picked it up early I would be a lot more happier because it was during a time when honest people were still in the game now it’s music blasting idiots sure some good people are in the game but not much of them
paintball is the absolute WORST for me because i move around the map actually getting kills instead of camping with the sniper (in team battle ofc) and people get mad because they're bad at close range with a sniper and dont keep their pistol, which you need to do if you're using a sniper as a primary like me
I remember I had dis friend I played with him for a few days then one day I wanted to play and he wasn't online this continued for 2 years I still miss him ):
I also wish I knew about the favorite button, too. I have always wanted to play this map I found back in January of this year. All I wanted was some nostalgia. But I didn't favorite the room, so I can't find the game. 😭
I would love to spend alot more time in rec room but i dont have a vr headset. Trting to have conversations and funny moments with random people without vr is a bit hard at least in my experience, ive been binge watching your videos so i can imagine what itll be like once i save up for a headset even thought that wont happen soon. Your content is really enjoyable even if i cant really "Relate" to alot of the enjoyment.
But the most relatable thing on here had to be the " Favorite the room " situation, i'm always struggling to find that one game...truly that one game.....
That most of the time theres a double shooter in golden trophy but either they hog all the kills, or they repeatedly kill everyone when they walk like to the side of their vision, then they accidentally kill you, and blame you
Well, isnt that a good thing? A skilled guy is helping you and is probably good at it. Sure, you won't get as high of a rank if you don't step up your game, and you might run into a few of his arrows, but you don't lose points for that, he does, so it's no big deal. Otherwise, just go solo or with people you know.
In 2020 I was playing a game with my friends when we finished I forgot to favorite it 1 year later I forgot the name then I remembered that I didn't favorite the game and I really wanted to play it again.
0:40 Hears a bit of a story I am getting addicted to rec room and only really watch ppl like tarpuetic and boethia as well as other creators and one day I decided to troll as a 7 yr and was asked who a huge rectuber was. Me not knowing I said I didn’t know and thank god I was trolling..
I was in a game and this girl went omg everyone sucks ,she was literally the only one shooting team mates,not reviving, and walking in the firing lines of team mates .After she left we did better ,even with 5 year olds.
I honestly wish i knew that people in the recenter would harass others. I like hanging out there since its a cool area, but i will always have to run away from someone shouting my user (especially during the whole valentines stuff)
Something I wish I knew before was toxic players don't care when you votekick them. I did this once and felt really good. I was telling my friends later and they told me "Oh yeah they really don't care though''
Try looking for things with smaller room capacity, like MazeRacers, some of the horror maps (itchaptertwostory is a good one) and those farm simulators (TheMiniFarm). Lesser known maps like that already have less toxic people, I find. If you find someone who seems decent, definitely friend them right away. I met some of my best friends in random maps, but also by commenting on their UA-cam channels as so many fun people make Rec Room content!
I joined rec room recently and I still have no clue how to earn tokens other than the free gifts at the end of some games. So, how do you really earn tokens
I know your a small rec tuber but I bet your going to be up there with mav and soul fox one day you so chill and a bit funny your a great rec tuber one day I want to meat you
At the age that I was I don’t know that game is in vr I never even heard of it so I never saw people moving around like that they said on the I was in screen mode and I said what’s that wish I would’ve known what VR was
Aww! I wish I had known VR was widely available. I always thought only Markiplier owned one, LOL!! It's been around for a long time I guess! (2016 or so?)
Join the Adults who play Rec Room facebook page! I have met a few good friends that way! and/or you can share my adult friends, if you'd like! @tarapeutic if you want to add me. :)
@@Tarapeutic I'll add you after diner, no AWPRR because i unsubbed because i posted a message that my Oculus(controllers) died and couldnt play RR and they deleted it. Was bit confused after they did that. My name is DutchGuyMikey
The thing I wish I new was to be careful hoo you became friends with cause I made friends with people that were cool at first but then like a couple months later they became toxic and Brott down some stress in my life and now I wish I was never friends with them ever before.I blocked them and unfriended them. So if your ever in that sich trust me you will feel better unfriending them. Ps another tip that will save your life is to keep as much stress out of your life as possible trust me it helps a lot
Honestly toxic people are funny to fight in paintball cause once some guy was be toxic and I killed him so many times with a grenade he actually told me to kill myself and blocked me
I wish I knew it would automatically put me on a junior account so for the first couple of weeks I was walking up and trying to talk to people wow not knowing I couldn't hear or talk to them
I’m impressed that even when it’s 5 in the morning all I hear from people is PLZ GIFT ME I BEG YOU that’s all I hear and it gets very annoying and it’s awkward for me.
I also thought that rec room was a few people (maybe 70-60 or so) I then played for a year or so, and learned that it's a few thousand. Or, well. Hundred thousand maybe.
It's really not easy, honestly. Just keep trying to say little things here and there and friend people who seem actually decent! I still feel uncomfortable playing with strangers, especially because I have lots of good friends now. I'm more afraid of people being toxic (or during quests refusing to actually play the game!) If you join the Team Tarapeutic discord server, lots of people in my group are very friendly and actually enjoy playing the game. I'm sure they would love to have another friend to play rec room with!
What do you wish you had known before you started playing Rec Room?

@@Tarapeutic I am sure that I have never made better friends than the people I’ve met in rec room
I thought waking meant you have to walk in real life I’m like I don’t have that much space so I went on teleport for a long time
@@hazyvr9109 omg hahaha!!
This is why I love rec room. I just like the chaotic rec centres, the random players who always make me laugh somehow and most importantly have good time with everyone
Rec Centers are either really great or really bad, depending on the vibe. But for sure, I agree with you! Lots of randomness haha!
Thank you for that. I'm just getting started with my Son in RR and it has filled that void that's been missing. Seeing him being able to interact with other kids and just be a...kid, is priceless. We appreciate your sincerity.

I use to be crazy addicted to rec room during quarantine, now I haven’t played for a while but I know it’s coming back. I’ll be readdicted soon it’s only a matter of time
that was me with Ark before I started playing Rec room and I know i'll be addicted again once the second game comes out, lol
@@Tarapeutic crazy how that works, you can be addicted to a game one day and then randomly just stop ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@Tarapeutic theres a second game?
same
@@Tarapeutici used to be addicted to ark

yes, keep at it! I just made a video about how to make friends quicker in Rec Room. I know it's tough to open up and talk to people. Baby steps!!

@@Tarapeutic I'm happy to hear that, Tara!
I’m happy we all have your back tarapeutic!!!
Awww your so kind, and I bet your friends would be so happy to hear that. And rec room is giving me confidence and it is different
My personal loadout for toxic paintball lobbies: Mic off and disable voices. If there's no communication, they can't be rude to you!
This is very true!! And I don't mind running around talking to myself, that's what I do anyway lmao!
Definitely wish i'd favorited people from the beginning, now some great friends may be buried in my list and it's way too long to sort through at this point!

I’m a very shy person on Rec Room, my social anxiety gets through the roof sometimes. I just kinda want to work on opening up more online.
It's a long process (it was for me) I did just make a video on how to make friends in Rec Room, maybe check out that guide too. Good luck !!
Tarapeutic I actually also have anxiety to me it’s great to find someone else to relate to with something like that
Hi Tara!,I want u to know that thousands of people love u (including me,by the way you probably think I’m really weird I commented on three of your videos i just love your videos lol 😂 )and u make me smile every time u post a video!❤
Awww thank you Sophia! Have a wonderful day!

But the most relatable thing on here had to be the " Favorite the room " situation, i'm always struggling to find that one game...truly that one game.....
I know, same! lmao!! Thanks Malia!
2:19 ehm i think you mean the park because every time I go, there absolutely more chaos than in rec center
When i was a begginer, i wish i knew quests existed. I bassicly played every sort of map except for RRO's.
Oh I know, you're like the opposite of everyone else hahah! Normally people just play the RROs!
That most of the time theres a double shooter in golden trophy but either they hog all the kills, or they repeatedly kill everyone when they walk like to the side of their vision, then they accidentally kill you, and blame you

Good suggestion: ride of jumbotron (no autocorrect) short but amazing atmosphere
I love that game!
I started rec room as soon as I got my quest 2, but I didn't realize how much had changed in 4 years when I first watched a video on it
In 2020 I was playing a game with my friends when we finished I forgot to favorite it 1 year later I forgot the name then I remembered that I didn't favorite the game and I really wanted to play it again.
Been part of rec room since late March of 2018. I had some really good friends over the years. But a whole lot of them are gone now.
I can totally relate dont even get me started on encounters with toxic ppl
We love being toxic it is like coffee in the morning

Rec Room is suppose to be for people that struggle making friends and you make more friends than you need!
I joined rec room recently and I still have no clue how to earn tokens other than the free gifts at the end of some games. So, how do you really earn tokens
buy tokens, get RR+. That's about it. Dodgeball is the best RRO for tokens in my opinion.
I know your a small rec tuber but I bet your going to be up there with mav and soul fox one day you so chill and a bit funny your a great rec tuber one day I want to meat you
Thanks Liam!!
I thought that you NEED a Vr Headset
If I knew that before I would've played
It 2019

thank you
one thing i wish i wanna know is that aif its possible... are you able to EARN free items by playing specific games that were built in rec room?
i wish i could play with friends but im to lonely because im a kid not just jumping and screaming tho because well im just boring
Love you tara

ngl rec room is addictive in a good way :D
100 percent! Great game!
I just want to learn to have a red hoody I can wear. That is my end game. Anything beyond that is gravy.
This video is very relatable
Thank you, that's what I was aiming for :)

2:21 yes finally someone understands
I agree with number 10 so addictive
Idk about life changing but it's a pretty cool game experience
I go to the mirror bc there is most people (most funny people normally
cool thanks i went into this game really not knowing anything about it
I’m so glad she doesn’t have merch because if she did I bet she would be like “and number 10 getting this amazing merch”
I also thought that rec room was a few people (maybe 70-60 or so)
I then played for a year or so, and learned that it's a few thousand. Or, well. Hundred thousand maybe.
Exactly, and it's only growing bigger by the day!!
This is really cool
Thanks so much!
"customizable"
Ah yes. A game that doesn't even let you change some basic controls is very customizable.
I only play quests :( how do I get rid of my quest addiction
Nice videos!
Thank you Matty!
Bro I was just bullied at dodgeball when I just started I was called trash bad at the game and it was a 2v1
That the best persons are the ones that play de guests with serious attitude like trying to beat it.
I haven't had any bad experiences in rec room everyone is really nice to me
That's awesome!!
Does anyone have anyway for people who are scared to talk to people cuz I find it hard and I think people are gonna junior me when I’m the right age
It's really not easy, honestly. Just keep trying to say little things here and there and friend people who seem actually decent! I still feel uncomfortable playing with strangers, especially because I have lots of good friends now. I'm more afraid of people being toxic (or during quests refusing to actually play the game!) If you join the Team Tarapeutic discord server, lots of people in my group are very friendly and actually enjoy playing the game. I'm sure they would love to have another friend to play rec room with!
1:46 okay chill😂
Tbh at this point it’s really hard for me not to shout in a pvp and I hate that
I avoid PvPs, they're too toxic lol
when people are toxic to me i pull up my hand and keep on saying speak to the hand speak to the hand
