[quote=Anonymous]She may find it easier to interact with others through doing a shared activity rather than simply sitting around and shooting the sh*t.

I'm also an introvert and when I"m hosting I will usually have:
-a table with some craft supplies (like the little kits that you get at Michaels' to make a christmas ornament or somerthing).  I assumed that these would be for the kids but my adult relatives apparently also enjoy these.  
-a big table with a thousand piece puzzle on it.  People can sit down through the day and work on a puzzle.
-You can also step out to walk the dog.  DOesn't have to be your dog.

I have some social anxiety and I like all these activities because they're like what a psychologist might call 'parallel play' with young children.  YOu're doing things alongside people without actually necessarily having to chat or make eye contact, etc.

If you really want to be understanding, make an effort to create some spaces in your entertaining/house, etc.  for everyone to feel comfortable.[/quote]
