Yes! And, whether it stems from research or not, putting yourself out there and talking to other people is one of the most fundamentally important things you can do for your career and your personal development as a human being.
I jest, no tinder. But still, be ready for a lot of non-responses if you're not actively in college. It can feel like a lonely world out there despite theoretically being hundreds of potential people you'd be able to talk to for hours.
I think that accepting rejection is part of the being extroverted and meeting strangers. It’s better than waiting for the perfect opening or only talking to people you are sure will be receptive.
