I cringe at my own Linkedin profile and during networking all the time. Is this normal?
Basically title and a small rant. I cringe when I look at my own Linkedin profile. When I network with alumni, I am embarrassed whenever I receive no response. This is much worse than the imposter syndrome. I also cringe at my audacity to network with people in finance since I have almost zero work experience. The lack of confidence is making me burn out so much. I hate networking but I have to get through it until junior year begins.

It is not that I have such crippling anxiety that I cannot even bring myself to cold call/email/networking. But sometimes the imposter syndrome kicks in so hard that I feel like my email/LinkedIn Profile feel fake and cringeworthy. I hope this feeling goes away when summer arrives.
Also, I am networking in Asia so things might be a little different. Lots of cold-blooded alumni.
My guy you need to value yourself more. No person is inherently better than anyone else, and if anyone is looking down on you for lacking in experience when they don’t even know you, then those aren’t the people you want to network with anyways - you’ll find your own path just keep putting in the work
