Local cafe's new 'freelancer hour' isn't helping my focus like everyone says
My neighborhood cafe just started a special time for freelancers to gather. But I find the talk and need to meet people actually ruins my creative flow, unlike what most locals say. Has anyone else gone to these get-togethers and thought the same?

Ugh, forced networking vibes! Those events can turn into a weird show where everyone is just pretending to be busy and happy. You get stuck in a loop of fake laughing at small talk while secretly checking your phone, and your actual work just dies. It feels like being on a stage instead of in your own head where good ideas happen. No wonder your creative flow just packed up and left.

Have you tried setting a small goal for these events? I aim to have one real talk with someone, which cuts through the fake stuff. It could help you, @the_susan, keep your creative flow from leaving.
