[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m seriously wondering why you would feel terrible about this. Is that just hyperbole? It seems like such an outsize reaction for such a small thing. Who will remember whether someone bought something or what they brought even a short time later? This is completely unimportant.[/quote] Because people are accustomed to not showing up to parties empty handed. They are uncomfortable with it when they leave their houses because it is pretty much a universal norm to bring gifts to parties. Once they get there and everyone else brought something, it reinforces that discomfort.[/quote]
