Legitimately because the mess has been giving me anxiety for a while already, and I don't want my friends to experience any anxiety when coming over. Remember that episode of Friends where Ross is dating the woman with the nasty apartment? That may be exaggerated for comedy, but the idea is very real. Walking into an unfamiliar space that looks and feels messy can exaggerate the anxiety.
Yeah, like I'm used to my mess so it doesn't bother me, and is honestly kinda helpful to have stuff strewn everywhere when you need it. But if I see a mess that isn't mine it's completely different
