I appreciate your thoughts on this kind of attendee's logistical concerns.
And I understand how frequent repetitive self-deprecation can arise partly because of uncertainty about acceptability of behavior.
In the experience I most recently had, it felt like there was no amount of reassurance or information anyone could give this participant that helped them seem less worried (when given clear information on something they'd seemed uncertain about, the person did not seem relieved). That's part of what I am describing as unusual anxiousness, along with the "their worries take over the ordinary give-and-take of conversation" pattern. So, if you have tips for that situation, that'd help further.
