I Hate the Idea of “Networking”

I’ve never seen anyone share this sentiment, so I’d like to hear what others think. I want to make friends and meaningful connections naturally. Perhaps by happenstance, shared hobbies, similar situations, et cetera. To specifically seek people out because you want a job, “networking,” feels fake, self-serving, and manipulative. I don’t want approach people and try to make a relationship with them because I need to get myself a better position in the world.
