    In a social networking platform's friend recommendation system, given a user ID number, find the next palindromic ID number that's greater than the current ID to serve as an anchor point for balanced connection recommendations. The palindromic ID must be the smallest possible number greater than the given ID that reads the same forwards and backwards, ensuring optimal symmetry in the recommendation pattern.
