Attending my first in-person networking event during COVID, do people still exchange business cards?

I went to one a month back - first one - and made sure I had some. Handed out maybe 15 and got 5. Most people tended to just add each other on linkedin on their phones right there.

Had a therapist who encouraged me to quit my job to be happy. Also encouraged me to not settle with my girlfriend because I’ll regret it (like how he regrets getting married). Ended up quitting my job and became more miserable, poor and suicidal. Haven’t seen my girlfriend due to long distance and COVID and we might break up soon. Did I just find a bad therapist or is it normal to project your own regrets to your patients?
