What keeps you from having guests over to your town?

The only people I have over for more than a minute are typically people that I am very close friends with in real life, like my two best friends and my husband. What keeps me from having more casual acquaintances over is my horrible, horrible typing speed. Pecking at the keyboard with a stylus is not a strong suit of mine. It's something that I'm very self conscious about.

That, and I hate the pressure of entertaining- if we are good friends, comfortable silence is all that is necessary, and I can take my time typing if there is something to say.
 
I just love that comfortable silence. I say no to awkward silence while furiously pecking away with the stylus to get simple enough messages across.

Glad it isn't just me. That level of companionship is perfection.
 
The thing keeping me from having people in my town is my internet :p I get a Resetti screen every time someone comes into my town, which is awful because my friend on acnl rarely can come to my town, only when I'm somewhere with internet that actually works (And I rarely get somewhere with working internet :p)

Ha ha, that reminds me when I was trading with someone with a connection so terrible that when the save was triggered upon my exiting her town, save took about 15 minutes before the host finally pulled the plug. On my second attempt, after a minute her connection gave out, which was not enough time for the trade to finish. Finally, on the third attempt, I dropped the items right away and said 'OK-thanks-bye.' Heh.
 
Nothing.
I don't really care about how a town looks or w/e when I'm visiting. People who are overly strict about running just piss me off though.

My town is no where near where I want it to be so I don't intend to invite people over for a long time. :( It's really ugly and boring right now.
 
I'm reluctant to invite people I don't know because I don't want them to ruin my flowers, steal stuff, etc. With friends though, I know they wouldn't do that so I wouldn't mind it if they visited me. My current town looks like an absolute mess because it's still a work in progress but if we were going to play together then I think they wouldn't mind (and I wouldn't mind visiting a town that looked like a mess, I wouldn't be visiting just for the looks but to hang out). It can even be a good way to get suggestions and ideas on how to improve.
 
I don't mind having people over at all! In fact, I love it. But I have a lot of connection issues, so that prevents a lot of fun, not to mention trades, adoptions, etc...
 
I'm not really trusting of people. I once had people come over but things went missing. I want to interact more but I don't get much time to play and I had items all over for months until I had a small break that I decided to clean up my town. I usually offer to help people clean up their towns and sort out their flowers and landscape and stuff. when I joined this forum I was looking for help about my grass problem. there is a quick solution. the day someone pings you to move out on that same day if you decide to keep them you can time travel a month and go back a month and your grass will be back. but you will have to talk to your villagers again because someone will ping to move out. after I did that I got my grass back and no I don't run on it anymore.
 
I'm pretty shy when it comes to chatting with people, so that's one setback for me having visitors. Another one is my panic of someone trampling my flowers. I'm not sure why, but I get really stressed/freaked out when something in my town is out of place. Because of this, I'm cautious about inviting strangers to my town, not that many TBTF would be so careless around flowers. Overall, I've just had bad experiences with inviting people over for social reasons. :T
 
My town is so messy with items laying everywhere, even valuable ones, and I'm always afraid someone will pick just a couple things up so I won't notice right away. Plus I get nervous about trying to "entertain" my guests, I'm happy with just a comfortable silence and a few comments here and there, because the chat system totally sucks.

But I've had nothing but pleasant experiences so far, so I let people into my town anyways, because I'm a total sucker for helping people :)
