me: Now I’m stressed. Time to lay in bed procrastinating until 2:45pm.
Then rush like the devil incarnate trying to get there at 3:00PM
Me in my head: frantically starts trying to think up plausible excuses to get out of going without hurting anyone's feelings, once again forgetting that they know about my social anxiety and would probably accept the true reason for me not wanting to go
What about getting mentally prepared? 9am... eh?
“oh you have an appointment at 4pm? you are now physically unable to do anything after 7am you’re welcome :)”
If someone told me something starts at 3pm, that means they expect me there around 4pm, so ~4:30 to be fashionably late
Not here. Normal is at least 5 minutes early and the fashionably late types come on the dot. If you end up even 5 minutes late, you should inform the host immediately when you realize you could be running late.
Where do you live, a military base? O.o
Finland. Of course that is exaggerated and there are always some chronically late people, but being any kind of late without a notice is frowned upon. That's why we get along with Germans way better than southern europeans.
but then ending up staying in bed till 1h30
