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
