  • The comments on this thread have been very interesting! I hate being late. Often i panic b4 i am actually late. Often i might only end up being a couple of minutes late and the other person isnt bothered. My partner said dont worry about it till the time youre supposed to be there. Does anyone else feel a sense of uneasiness when the clocks change? I usually get this in spring time and not so much in autumn. I dont know why it is or how i feel uneasy just i know i do.....Autumn is my favourite time of year.

    I get very anxious about lateness, and I hate the clocks changing. 
    It's better in Autumn, but it still reminds me that I'm going to really suffer in the spring, so I end up sulking about both changes. :/

    Being on time and the fear of being late.

     This describes me very well.

    I see it as a positive trait.  But I also suffer from extreme anxiety as I am almost late.  And my imagination works over time worrying about what will happen if I am late by even a second.

    Being on time has it's advantages.  The job centre is happy, my GP is happy.  And the stress disappears as soon as I arrive.

    In my last job I was always on time.  And this enabled me to see colleagues arriving ten and twenty minutes late.
