Networking isn't about talking to people, but about building mutually beneficial relationships. Those can require very little talk. Sometimes I see places where we'd both gain a lot from a cashless transaction, so I make it happen. For example I send them clients and they advise me every once in a while. We're not drinking buddies, just two businesses helping each other out. We rarely talk. In other cases I just build stuff and put it out there. It acts as a beacon for people who like that stuff. People often reach out to talk shop and good things happen. I meet people in the strangest places. Others seem to follow my social media updates and bring them up in phone calls, so they must have some impact too. If I don't feel like seeing people, I can still do those things without feeling overburdened.
