I am recently joining a community of founders who basically try to find a co-founder. Typically, I would place myself in situations whereby I need to present myself, if i am not liked in those scenarios it wouldnt be a big deal. I realized that people I had engaged with previously on zoom , we got along better in real life and basically those relationships were more engaged than totally new encounters. Example, I referenced 'the paperclip maximizer' when someone asked about useless startup ideas during a game, there was no response from the group, basically 6 people ignored the statement i just mentioned. And when it was time to present the guy embarrassingly asked me to present knowing I had not seen the presentation at all.
I realised that within 1-2 min conversations would collapse, the other person would excuse themselves for a coffee, bathroom, and never come back. I am curious what are some hacks people use for blending into groups you don't visually or culturally blend with (you look and sound different)
