I have decided that I really need to get better at networking if I'm gonna get anywhere in life. Problem is I have social anxiety and zero clue how to talk to people.

I've reached the conclusion that networking events are society's practice setting for becoming more sociable, since you sure has hell aren't ever hearing back about an opening. It's performative bullshit theatre; treat it as such (relax) and find amusement in those taking it seriously.

I really like that perspective actually. I'll try and keep it in mind.
