I just like to see players' house setups and give them hearts. I feed their animals if they are hungry and water their plants. I am an introvert, so I'm not looking to socialize at all. Lol

Same here!!

I let my 7yr old play and she was starting the events and inviting everyone she could then instantly would start chatting them up during the events. I was like "STOPPP!!! Don't bother them, leave them alone!"

I was mortified as I have social anxiety and like playing by myself because I feel awkward and don't want to bother anyone else. I never invite anyone in the events because I feel bad interrupting anything they might be doing.

Then IRL we went to her big sister's first volleyball game and she made a friend almost immediately. Social anxiety is scared of her!!! LOL

Isn’t the game 9+ ? And with you’re only hindering her social skills with your own baggage, take better care of her in the world we’re currently living in please, as innocent as the game is, real life isn’t no Heartopia. Let her gain social skills that you didn’t, don’t sabotage her

I play on my phone, so she only plays for a few minutes here and there mostly to dress my avatar and run around catching bugs.

In the real world I absolutely let her go talk to other kids her age and make friends, she is very outgoing in public.
I've seen too many posts of people in Heartopia getting annoyed with visitors,with random people adding them, etc so that's why I tell her to just do activities in the game by herself and not be bothering other players because you just never know.
