Went to a tech meetup in Austin and saw a clear split between the people who networked and those who just watched.

The folks who actually talked to strangers left with 3 or 4 solid contacts, while the rest just drank free coffee and left alone.

Remember my buddy who just lurked at a conference? He missed a job offer that went to the guy who started talking to him first.

Seen that happen way too many times.

My cousin lost a promotion by being too quiet.

Being too quiet" will kill your career faster than being too loud, trust me.
