It's called leveling up your peers.

I do everything I can to educate my peers and have them elevated in whatever way possible. That's because you always fall back to the level of your circle.

To get this done for GenZ and millennials is via social clubs (physical or virtual) and constant education (not schooling) and access to information.

How do I know you've interest in something or at least can be trusted with delivery if we were not in some constant communication?

Leveraging social circles in key. It doesn't have to be classmates alone. Even older folks find you trustworthy if they have you in their circle and you proffer solutions to their problems.

Imagine if in my circle someone has interest but doesn't have the capacity to deliver services that is required at a particular time in the value chain of my industry. My job is to INFORM this individual to get prepped and ensure he/she gets the necessary information to be ready for what's to come.

This might include also investing in his/her upskilling process, acquiring required documentation and also funding. The wealthy understands these things and use it to their advantage.

We need quality person's in our lives not just people. Someone you can always bank on to have a discussion with. A versatile person. Committed, focus minded person who knows her onion. Though i know those aforementioned qualities are hardly come by. Particularly, the breeds of youths we have today. Although, I'm working towards being an Ambivert. But it's not feasible without having friends to talk to, without going out for any social gathering or what have you

Honestly speaking it's not being easy on my own side not having any. You know life at times isn't fair
All the people I know,I only know them on the surface.They are not people I can call friends nor bank upon.

Being an ambivert is my goal.But then,it scares the shii out of me each time I try...I envy extroverts!

"But if we can put ego aside and be willing to work as part of something that brings value, regardless of whether we get credit for it or not" Starting from my kindergarten KG/preschool, primary school, secondary and my University. I have a WhatsApp group for each, although when friends added me to the WhatsApp group, I was like what will I get/gain here, i was like abegi no be all those guys wey dey carry body as if say Dem no dey shit. On another hand, I immediately realize that there is something to learn from every single soul.
Today by his grace the reunion is stronger than anything most importantly I was very happy to hear from my old friends. Whether good or bad I love them but I know my boundaries. Op most of us don't know how to keep this circle call friends.
Certainly, I will wrong you or you wrong me but we should over look those things and move on.
Valid

Networking has been a major issue among young persons especially now when most public speakers or leaders encourage it at events or social functions. The problem is, most young persons aren't actually going about it the right way. Networking is an opportunity to get to know the next individual, what he or she does, your shared interests etc

Most persons go into networking with a needy mindset, always asking without giving in return and this puts the other person off. This is one of the major reasons why most of the relationships they've tried to establish doesn't last.

Networking is a symbiotic relationship, always have something to bring to the table and you'd see the improvement you'd make.
This is the whole point of networking. always have something of value to give.
