When does networking stop feeling fake? I’ve been trying to build relationships for career growth, but most of it feels like forced small talk. I know connections matter, yet I can’t figure out how to make it feel genuine.

You have to keep at it. Try asking real questions:
"What's your latest project?"
"What keeps you up at night? The lack of resources or budgets?"
"What or Who is your biggest challenge / OR / ally at work?"
"Do you find your direct Manager to be supportive enough?"
Avoid day-to-day smalltalk like weather, politics, news etc.
