Be your self Me: I have no interest i talking to you, it's not that I feel uncomfortable or anything I just don't like being with other people - Great start
I just watched this and then I went to a networking event to exercise these skills...they work, but you've gotta pick good quiet places like in this video. The place I went to tonight was crowded, loud, and filled people outside of my industry. :(

A year late but if you've got a decent signature on email with your details then you can drop the person an email there and then and then *follow up* later on. Also have your resume in pdf on your phone again to be able to quickly fire off
What kind of attitude behind the behaviour they are holding? I just feel the action is to make it clear that each person give the other a market price on how valuable you can be to benefit my career, knowing people is not based on its original hobbies, likes or natural feeling , and this is why I feel so awkward. However, this is a part of career, I wonder how people who are so comfortable in these events control and think this?
Evaluate ALL humans in your network (circle) then identify individuals that could add value to your life in whatever form. Then be transparent about your needs but I would recommend giving them a target you will meet and then surpass this target.
*You* yourself will need to first be interested in what *you* have to say, in orer to have the *confiednce* to express your interests to others. True, some people won't care what you have to say; and that's just fine. Not everyone will. But once you're confident with yourself and your ambitions, other peoples approval won't be a determining factor. Best, Seth
The commenter above sais you have to have confidence to be able to do this, and confidence certainly help. But if you don't have confidence the best way to start is to just build experience by doing it. Try to have fun in a way that suits you. The more authentic you are, the more confidence you will build. Focus on what you can control (what you are doing) instead of what you can't (what the other person thinks of you). I used to suck at this kinda stuff but I was always trying to please everyone. I practiced a lot (everywhere) by just saying hi and that really helps. Plus it's okay to fail or be awkward, everyone understands. It's annoying when someone is really awkward but just like someone dancing for the first time and they step on your toe - we all get it and we've all been there. Embrace the suck and do it lotsa times and tadaa, confidence magically appears. The more you become you, the more powerful you will feel (and be)
