Intuitive Introverts: Creating Connection Without Becoming Someone Else

Sat, Aug 22, 8:00 PM

From The NYC MBTI Meetup Group

4.8

**How introverted intuitives build meaningful relationships without pretending to be more outgoing.** **Co-Hosts:** Vin & Margarita Many introverts grow up hearing that they need to speak more, socialize more, or become more outgoing to build meaningful relationships. But what if connection doesn't require becoming someone else? For intuitive introverts, connection often grows through honesty, reflection, curiosity, emotional depth, and feeling genuinely understood. This discussion is designed specifically for people who recharge through solitude but still want meaningful relationships. Together we'll explore questions like: • What helps you feel safe enough to be truly seen? • What makes conversation feel meaningful instead of exhausting? • How do you stay authentic while meeting new people? • How do you build connections without performing? This is a slower-paced discussion focused on thoughtful conversation rather than networking. No pressure. No icebreakers that force you to perform. Just honest conversations with people who often experience the world in similar ways.

Get tickets at: [https://www.eventbrite.com/e/679734583437](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/679734583437) **WHAT IS A SECRET NETWORKING EVENT?** This event is for those who want to network for business or just want to come out and socialize. Whether you are an entrepreneur, small business owner, business professional or just someone who wants to meet new people, this event is for you! It's the perfect opportunity to get away from your desk, have some cocktails and network with potential business partners, investors, industry professionals and new clients.... Or make some new friends! We've witnessed countless business connections and friendships form at our past events. We'd say about 70% of the crowd is usually single so it can be a great place to meet someone special as well. A Secret Networking Event is a revolutionary new event that is changing the way people network in NYC. It is a fun and easy way to connect with others in a relaxed, low pressure environment. **SECRET SYMBOL** After you sign up we'll send you an email with a list of different industries and interests to choose from. Each industry/interest will have a different "secret symbol". This secret symbol will let the other event attendees know what industry/industries you're in or what topic/topics you're interested in. Once you select what industry and/or topics you're interested in you'll be directed to a page with printable paper bracelet templates with your secret symbol on them. You can select one industry or multiple industries or topics. If you don't have access to a printer you can simply draw the secret symbol/s on the back of your hand with a marker or pen before arriving at the event. For example... those in the tech industry might have a triangle as their secret symbol... those in the real estate industry might have a square as their secret symbol... those single and looking to potentially meet someone special might have a circle as their secret symbol... those interested in crypto might have a lightning bolt as their secret symbol, etc. Then you simply show up at the venue at the listed start time and get started meeting people. **\*\* EVENT LOCATION IS LISTED ON THE EVENTBRITE PAGE \*\*** *\* QUICK NOTE: THIS IS A MULTI-MEETUP GROUP EVENT. 25 OTHER GROUPS HAVE ALSO BEEN INVITED SO WE'LL BE SURE TO HAVE A GOOD SIZE TURNOUT. THE RSVP LIST ON MEETUP ONLY REFLECTS A SMALL PORTION OF ACTUAL ATTENDEES.* *An email we received about one of our recent events: "Thank you so much for throwing such a great event. The crowd was really great and everyone was super friendly. As a busy professional I don't get that much time to get out and meet people so it was nice to be in such a relaxed environment. Event well done!" - Danielle, NYC* **//// Want to see all of the most fun events coming in NYC?

We usually have between 70 and 100 people sign up. CAN I ARRIVE LATE? Absolutely. Arrive any time you'd like. CAN I COME ALONE? Yes, about 75% come on their own. WHAT IS THE DRESS CODE? While we don't have a dress code we ask that you please look neat/presentable. What you wear to work or what you'd where for after work happy hour drinks is fine. CAN I PAY AT THE EVENT DOOR? We do not accept payment at the event door. We also change the venue at each event and don't give out the location to those who don't sign up. You must pre-pay online. HOW LONG DOES THE EVENT GO?
