A phenomenon in which individuals who become emotionally and socially invested in VRChat experience a decline in interest and engagement with their previous hobbies, activities, and responsibilities. While they may not abandon these pursuits entirely, their commitment to them diminishes in favor of spending more time in VRChat.
Common behaviors associated with VRChat Syndrome include:
Prioritizing VRChat over other hobbies, jobs, and responsibilities.
Sacrificing time and productivity to stay online.
Procrastinating on important tasks to continue socializing in the game.

Vrc User: I just made so many new friends and spent over 9 hours in VR chat
Non-Vrc User: sounds like fun but what about other things? You know you're writing? Play any good games? Watch any good TV shows? I heard that you were trying to develop a game
Vrc User: Ehhhh I'll get to all of those at a later date....For now let's keep talking about VRC
Non-Vrc Chat: This is a very concerning case of VR Chat Syndrome
Vrc User: *realizes that he might have a problem*
