And then...

a week before the party, I'd always be like, I think I got to cancel this because no one's coming.

And this is really humiliating.

And I don't think I have any friends.

And if I continue with this party, what's going to happen is people are going to show up, see that no one else is there.

And they'll be like, this girl's a loser.

I don't want to go to her parties again.

And then I'm going to have an even smaller group of people next time.

And I'm just going to circle the drain time and time again.

It's gotten smaller.

So it used to be that I would invite a lot of my coworkers and I would invite a lot of people that I've met once or twice.

And I would set this really, really wide net, 30, 40 people.

And like maybe eight people would show up.

So now I'll invite like 10 couples, 10 families.

And I'm lucky if three show up.

It's a very low yield.

One thing though is I have to avoid holiday weekends because I'm from an area where apparently no one stays home for any holiday weekend ever.

Like everyone's always out of town.

And that's the most common response I get is I'm out of town.

So I have to be very careful.
