[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of people have more things going on in their lives than you realize/know.  Issues with spouse, health / career / financial issues that you may be unaware of, etc.  [/quote]

This is very true.

But also people nowadays are more inclined to flake just because they'd rather stay home and watch Netflix in their sweatpants. There's a guise of doing it to take care of their mental health but sometimes it's just selfish and inconsiderate. And ultimately defeats the purpose since a big part of mental health is positive interactions with other humans. [/quote]

OP here and I agree. I'm introverted and have some social anxiety. TBH, I wanted to flake on the dinner last night because I was nervous about not knowing many people! But I went, generally enjoyed it, and felt better about myself afterwards for making an effort. [/quote]

NP and I totally get it- we had a party earlier this year and the same thing happened.  There were eeven a couple families bringing EXTRA people- (e.g., parents in town) so it ended up being a lot of people we planned for that didn't show last minute.  It was really annoying.  And Imm very similar to you as an introvert with some social anxiety and it takes a lot of effort for me follow RSVPs through sometimes.  But once I say yes to something I try hard to actually go.[/quote]
