Turns out, I somewhat* enjoy have folk over, in an introverted house-host fashion.  I am an introvert, and am not even good at making a to-experience when I'm the guest, let alone when I'm societally obligated to administer and otherwise populate the list.

But I am okay with having folk over who I don't have to organise socialising plans around/for.  My best friend trista stayed over this weekend, and esmereldaferalv stayed over for a bit before that, and they had their plans and such, and all was perfectly, entirely copacetic.  (One prompted me to get a bed, and one prompted me to get an apartment key copy made.  Total bonus!)

It's like... less bed & breakfast, more very visiting-related co-living.  Seems I'm fine with the latter.  Makes me want to natter with Josh (live-in partner) about being available to do this more often.

* This has absolutely nothing to do with any recent houseguest, and everything in the world to do with not wanting to unintentionally overpromise anything, at all, in any way. /introvert

The pattern I've noticed is that introverts I know seem to prefer hosting in their own home over being a guest at someone else's, as long as the organizing efforts aren't too crazy.

As an extrovert, I prefer to be the guest. I do like hosting as well as it's fun to play the hub for others, but I get more actual socializing in as the guest.

Huh. I hate hosting at least partly because of having to be the hub.
