I agree, and this is why I don't do very much of it. It's pretty exhausting to keep up a charade of caring about people in order to come by opportunities so it's better if you really care about them. I don't really know how people do that part, though.

It's easy actually - once you realise that everyone new you meet has an interesting story, and that you can learn something new from pretty much everyone, you automatically start caring about them. Humbling experience actually - even the people that others sometimes term as "unambitious" or "not-very-productive" have their own priorities in life and can give you a unique perspective about things.
