New meetings, sharing experiences, and opportunities

Bah. Well, since not much seems to be happening in the designated section for Search & Offer company, I'll try my luck in the general pool (hope it's ok to double-post?) [Since then moved to this section by admins, I discovered ...]
_____
So ... I'm kind of an introvert, need my space, and enjoy my own company.

BUT, what I generally have been quite disappointed in, and missed, nearly every Fusion, is the apparent almost exclusive focus people have towards whoever they came w/. My -- seemingly off -- expectation initially was that Fusion (also) was about being open to new meetings, and sharing experiences, and opportunities.

Having brought this up earlier (elsewhere), I've come to understand it can be hit or miss though, and also can depend on what stages/areas being frequented and/or state we are in (which makes sense). Nonethless, my opinion remains.

I'm not the type to really initiate a live convo, or acquaintance, whatever, but would say I usually am quite appreciative of people striking up one.

Gratefully will be attending -- by myself (again, it looks like) -- this year, and thought I'd have a slightly different approach, "advertising" this here, and my own openness for the above.

Tend to spend most time around Bachstelzen/Panne Eichel, Sonnendeck & Extravaganza w/ the odd visit to Turmbühne & Seebühne (for music taste indication), and plan to camp in the B/C area. **Staying the FULL week.** If anyone else relates (no gender restrictions etc), feel free to contact me (here/DM). Thanks for reading, and wish you all an amazing Fusion.

PS. NO SMARTPHONE

What do you mean by „no smartphone“?

Literally that? I do not have one. So communicating in ways exclusive to those isn't an option.

I guess a lot of people "suffer" from a drug induced socialphobia (special thanks to Keta) and only feel comfortable with people they know.
Also a lot of people only will feel insecure in the first one or two minutes with a stranger but once they figure you are empathic, they will open up.
My way to meet new people at Fusion is to sit next to them in the food area. People like convos while eating :D But it also gives them security that they have a legit reason to put a stop to the convo once they finished their food.

:lol: Aah, there we have it. Something I don't touch, but have noticed being very popular. Thanks so much for this enlightening and sympathetic answer, including the semi-sneaky yet respectful tip! Will bring it with me.<3
