Hey, if it&#x27;s tl;dr, my bad. As an introvert, it&#x27;s no shock I struggle to make small talk or widen my circle. The cultural scene around me just isn&#x27;t my jam (not a hipster btw, though not a Swiftie either).<p>The people I meet are nice enough, but nothing deep comes from our chats—not what you&#x27;d hope for in a dream social world. What&#x27;s weird is that so many people feel even lonelier. That&#x27;s why I started this startup.<p>Despite today&#x27;s massive connectivity, what drove me to launch this startup was the realization of how biased, inflexible, and deficient current social tools are.<p>It boils down to two things: either becoming another like&#x2F;upvote in a user limbo, being treated more like an audience than active participants, or having to don the influencer cap—which isn&#x27;t me at all. So, I created Turf. It&#x27;s still new, but I&#x27;m all for gathering as much feedback as I can. We want to give people the great social connections and engagements they should be having all these, all aligned to their favorite things&#x2F;topics. So if this resonates, pls check us out at: www.turfyeah.com.
