It's weird that I only realized yesterday that my refusal to socialize for the past 15 years is social anxiety and fear of being judged for not having a tidy and clean house. I won't go into the specifics here because I already said a lot about this in other places, but to make a long story short, I live with a very messy/dirty person and I stopped socializing because whenever I get too friendly with anyone, they seem to try to invite themselves to my house.
For years, I thought the mess only bothered me because I'm a bit of an OCD germaphobe. I keep trying to get the house clean and thinking my life can only start when I have a clean home and don't have to hide from people. Does anyone else have this problem? |

I totally get you. I was messy myself, but I have organized a clean and tidy apartment through the application of a lot of concerted effort. I enjoy having people over. My parents were messy, and my late mom especially. I remember vividly being terribly ashamed when my classmates/neighbors would visit me and I would talk to them over the threshold of our flat as I was too embarrassed to invite them to come in. And when they invited me, I envied the tidiness and cleanliness of their flats. @MrsA
