Networking is so fake. You join some event with the intent to know people so that you can build more work relationships or sell stuff to them. You know your objective is career and money, and you have no interest in them as persons, only as potential clients or supporters at work. Indeed, taking this view, I would dread networking.
Human civilisation is built on collaboration. Knowing people is fun because every person has a different story. Knowing people is about understanding their needs and seeing how we can help them and add value to them. It is silly to think that by just knowing people you will be able to milk them for your own selfish benefits. Lasting and fruitful relationships are based on cooperation and mutual help. Just enjoy discovering stories and helping others. And relax. It's not a work assignment.
