Networking as an introvert doesn't have to be stressful. Here's a simpler, more authentic approach:

❌ Selling yourself aggressively.
❌ Faking enthusiasm or interests.
❌ Don't pressure yourself to meet everyone.

πŸ”‘ Focus on Depth:

A few genuine connections are far more valuable than many superficial ones. Engage deeply with just a couple of people rather than spreading yourself too thin.

βœ… Provide value to someone else’s problem.
βœ… Be honest and genuine in your interactions.
βœ… Set a manageable goal: just meet 2-3 people.

πŸ§˜β€β™‚οΈ Keep It Simple:

Embrace these traits, and you'll find networking more rewarding and less stressful.
