I hate networking!

I don't understand why it is necessary for career/business progress.

I really hate the idea of hanging out with someone just because they can help my business or career. I like my friends/family and would rather spend time with them.

Does that make me weird?
I remember interviewing for a CEO job and telling the panel that the weakest part of my CV for the job is networking.

I'd rather spend weekends at home than on a golf course with strangers I hope to convert to clients.

They offered me the job regardless and the business grew.
Networking is important. You can't grow a business without doing it.

I do it very well.

But it's a chore for me.

I literally hate it.
Networking, for me, is analogous to going to see a dentist.

You have to do it so that your mouth doesn't look like a cavernous sewer but you don't have to look forward to the trip.

But once I get in the groove, it's showtime.

And my show is pretty good.
