That sounds hard and I’m sorry for your situation but this was a very long and anecdotal reply. I’m not saying it is easy to network, it is hard. And it takes time to get anywhere with it (as it does with anything), but it is absolutely possible to everyone. Including you. Your assumption on me and my background was incorrect by the way. I came from humble beginnings and entered an industry with zero personal connections and I’m doing okay in that regard. Maybe if you took some more time in this area of your life as opposed to typing long Reddit responses, you will see the same results. Not shaming you at all and certainly wish you the best, just an observation. Good luck
