This is me any time I'm going somewhere. If I have to get on a plane at 1PM, I'm arriving in the airport at 9AM at the latest. Otherwise, I just feel increasingly anxious the longer I wait. I'd rather spend three and a half hours sitting in a terminal than be stressing out about whether I'm going to make it in time.

me except I'm late

So did Extra Fabulous start the disconnected other eye style?

I have the same problem, especially if I'm riding a bus/train. I need almost exactly 15 minutes to the train station. This means, that I should leave my apartment 20 minutes before departure, which means, that I will leave 25-30 minutes before departure, because I'm stressing out, that I might miss the train. This of course means, that I will be there way to early and promise myself, that I will leave a few minutes later next time, just to repeat the exact same mistake.

This is why I try and get all my medical appointments in the morning. Less time my body forces me into 'wait mode'

Pro tip: If you are invited home to someone - do not, repeat not, be one hour early.

This, but with an extra step where I start preparing 5 minutes too late, can't find shit, and then end up having to hurry so I arrive sweaty ans barely on time or too late

Portable gaming is perfect for this.
You fully prepare and even travel to the thing and then you can set an alarm and play games while in limbo until the start time.

I did this with my Steam Deck last week (or was it two weeks ago...).

I thought this was an ADHD meme, but someone like me would've still been late in the last panel.

If pigeon had a job to keep him occupied & stressed-out all day he could approach the evening plans like a normal person pigeon.

Oh, look, I have extra time before I need to get moving. How much extra time? I dunno, probably infinite.

That's basically what goes through my head when someone compliments me on my punctuality.

😅

I've read that this is common among people with ADHD, but I very much do not have ADHD and I very much struggle with this.

I used to try and be at my job site that early just to have a little peace before the storm.

Now she has to wait a whole hour to poop on the CEO's car.

Me - "Fuck it I'm gonna be late for work today"

Also me - Shows up a half hour early anyway
