[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP, it is because they don't have the self-confidence to host.  They are embarrassed of this or that.  Since embarrassment is a form of self-fixation, it is kind of a narcissistic reaction.  Hosting people is, or should be about the guests, not the host.  Get over yourselves people!  A lot of this has to do with the competitive nature of this area.  [/quote]

This is not a helpful or productive comment. Calling anxious and self-conscious people narcissistic and self absorbed is not going to ease their fears about hosting. A more helpful comment would have been something like "Hosting takes a certain amount of self-confidence. You can cultivate this by putting your focus more on your guests than worrying about how your guests are perceiing you.z your guests are likely just happy to be there and want to have fun." this won't help people with true hosting anxieties, but it is at least more thoughtful and helpful than telling people to get over themselves.
