ühendushordamine

Ühendushordamine refers to the act of hoarding connections, primarily in a social or professional context. This behavior involves an individual accumulating a large number of contacts, acquaintances, or professional relationships without necessarily nurturing or actively engaging with most of them. The emphasis is on the quantity of connections rather than the quality or depth of the relationships.

Individuals who practice ühendushordamine may be motivated by a desire to feel more influential, to have a broad safety net of contacts for potential future use, or simply by a habit of collecting people as they might collect objects. This can manifest in various ways, such as accumulating numerous LinkedIn connections without meaningful interaction, collecting a large number of email addresses, or maintaining superficial contact with a vast network of people.

While having a wide network can be beneficial, ühendushordamine can lead to a situation where an individual is overwhelmed by their connections, making it difficult to recall specific details about individuals or to provide meaningful support when needed. It can also create a perception of disingenuousness if the connections are perceived as purely transactional. In essence, ühendushordamine prioritizes the presence of a connection over its substance.
