That setting allows to reduce the interaction with others to in-character interaction, which is said to help a lot with social anxiety (if I don’t mix up terms here now). The player can “hide” himself behind the character, just like an actor hides behind his role, allowing to keep a distance on the social interaction. | |

Go to miniature or boardgame shops that organize gameplays to sell their merchandise. You will find strangers playing with strangers so you won't be the black goat in the herd of white goats. I have been where you are and went into such an event. Met some people, started a group, fun ensued. | |
