There you have a photo from 1950s in which people were using their newspapers to hide from each other during the morning commute. It was always like this. The Internet didnt make it so, VR isnt making it so.

VR is just a technology. Like the Internet. If anything, they provide a means of contact for people who cannot easily reach each other in physical reality.
