[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If she actually entertains and doesn’t invite you, then yes, she’s not as invested in the friendship as you are. If she doesn’t entertain anyone, then she’s probably overworked or ashamed of something.[/quote]

Some people don't like having people over for any one of a million reasons that they may not want to share with you. We had about a year of not having people over because our cat was newly diagnosed with diabetes and we were struggling to get it under control and he was peeing EVERYWHERE - no matter what we did, our house reeked of cat urine (it was TERRIBLE) and I wasn't going to subject guests to that, nor was I advertising that I was basically living in a giant litter box.

People may have hoarding issues, cleaning issues, OCD, sick pets, anxiety, family conflict, weird living habits, etc, etc, etc that may make them not want to have you over, and that's all totally understandable.

(side note, the cat is fine, it got under control, and then we moved, there's been no pee issues in the new place. Old apartment had no security deposit and they didn't charge us, though I can't imagine why. If they'd sent us a bill for $5k for a complete tear out of the flooring, we would have said "fair" and totally paid it). [/quote]
