Can networking improve my resilience?

A lot of event attendance, putting myself out there so that I could grow my network, sending messages to people, reaching out on LinkedIn to try to create new connections, reigniting old friendships or old work relationships as well. And discussing with people that might have gone through that leap of faith earlier so that I could find people that I could relate to, and maybe bounce ideas with and discuss the fears that I was facing and the challenges that I was facing just to understand, are they only related to me and my situation, or is it more something that every freelancer and every business owner is facing? Which also made things... not easier, but at least made things more easy from a mental point of view. It's like, suddenly you are not alone in that struggle.
