Friend: Networking is important. My boyfriend introduced me to X, who then introduced me to Y and that's how I got a job.

Later that day...
Friend: Why didn't you apply for this party? What did I say about networking?

Me: Because I didn't know and because I don't follow that guy on twitter so I didn't see he tweet the google forms.

In my mind: How come nobody introduces me to anybody?

I was just mad that this happened and had to get this out of my head. Nobody ever introduces me to anybody and I am really really shy and an introvert, so I almost never introduce myself to anybody. Clearly I'm gonna die homeless or have a shitty job. Hey artists, I'll gladly take that fucking exposure!

    I know this. Maybe you dont hang around in interesting circles enough, so people listen and take notice of each other.

    This didn't make sense, until I realized you meant the OTHER networking. Not LAN.

    I managed to find some Research Labs and interest groups for extension projects. Those groups tend to be more connected as you have common interests, só you can make friends easier and those connection will last while you're there, at least. My University friends barely talk to me either, as I'm also introvert and have a lot of social Anxiety and other problems. In a Research lab we end up spending a long time talking about something, instead of caring about classes and tests etc. Hope it can help :)

    It's extremely easy to connect: just start being interested in what people do, and ask them questions about it :)

    @kikd Not for introverts, we really dislike small talk and find it hard to hook up like that.
