In recent years, many bloggers have been teaching "upward socialization" on social networks. The so-called "upward socialization" refers to interacting with people with higher status and more resources than oneself, hoping to use the channel resources of others to obtain more information and expand the network circle.
People who advocate "upward socialization" believe that in today's fierce competition, they must rely on the help of others in order to avoid detours and take the initiative into their own hands. However, some people question that the so-called "upward socialization" is actually very illusory, and it can only be said that it is one more channel. The essence of any social interaction is the exchange of resources, if you do not cultivate your own ability, the so-called "upward socialization" is simply a fantasy, and it will give you more unrealistic fantasies for no reason, waste your energy, and make people too utilitarian and impetuous. Some even say that upward socialization is the greatest**. Do you support "upward socialization"?
Today we can analyze this problem from different angles:
Expand your network: By socializing upward, you can meet more influential people, expand your network, and thus get more opportunities and resources.
Gain knowledge and experience: When interacting with successful people, you can learn from their experience and wisdom, learn from their way to success, and improve your ability and quality.
Unleash your potential: Engage with successful people, you can be inspired and inspired by them, stimulate your potential, and pursue higher goals and achievements.
False relationships: Some people may connect with you just to take advantage of your resources or status, and the relationship is often fake and lacks sincerity and trust.
Social anxiety: Socializing upwards can be stressful and anxious, as associating with people of higher social status requires facing higher expectations and demands.
Ignoring real relationships: Pursuing upward socialization too much may lead to neglecting real interpersonal relationships with family, friends, and co-workers, leading to alienation and breakdown of interpersonal relationships.
Keep it real: Whether you are socializing upwards or socializing with ordinary people, you should stay true to yourself and do not change yourself in order to cater to others.
Focus on intrinsic strength: Upward socialization is not the only way to succeed, but more importantly, it is more important to focus on the improvement of one's own internal strength and ability.
Balance relationships: While pursuing upward social interaction, it is also important to focus on real interpersonal relationships with family, friends and colleagues, and maintain a balance.
To sum up, upward socialization is not the biggest **, it has certain advantages and limitations. The key is how to correctly view and use upward socialization, maintain authenticity and balance, and pay attention to one's own internal strength and the development of interpersonal relationships. I hope we have the ability to "grow ourselves" and the ability to "break the circle". I am Shangguan Jingfeng, welcome to join me in the way of investment management!
