I’m an introvert, but I love people. As much as I like 1:1 and small group interactions, I love being *around* people more than being with them. It’s why I love living in New York, and being in cities in general. I’m quickly drained at a party of mutual connections, where I need to plausibly interact with anyone – but feel fully alive in while floating in a sea of strangers, at the coffee shop or the park. I think this is also why I like the internet. I’m okay not actually meeting (let alone becoming close friends with) the vast majority of the people I interact with here. Most of you will remain relative strangers, but I cherish the small interactions we’ll share as our lives inevitably unfold in their own directions.

It’s good you’re putting this out there and many more are just like you. I believe the internet could be better at supporting your preferences in making connections. We ask social questions like these @intori to better understand who you’d like to interact with and that doesn’t always mean you have to make a deep connection. Some days you might want to go deep on a topic with people who have similar interests, some days you might just want to browse who’s out there and engage if someone catches your eye.

I appreciate what you're trying to do with Intori, but I've always churned from "connection-making" tools because they feel too forced At some points in my life when I've been very proactive about "networking" they've been helpful, but I generally prefer an organic process than something feeding me connections on a specific cadence

I feel you on that. But what if it was more natural and not forced. An experience that mimicked what you're doing IRL and felt more personalized by welcoming you into interest based groups organically? Changing jobs, changing locations, changing tastes in food, wellness habits, list goes on. By regularly engaging it learns you and is less about networking, more about being a digital you.
