On the subject of time blindness. I was trying to explain to a family member who struggles with executive function that there are ways to work around that. For example, I explained that when I make plans/appointments/etc I immediately pull out my calendar on my phone and put in the information and a reminder. He said that wouldn't work for him because he always forgets. That's how you don't forget!! Don't give yourself time to forget! The rest of us don't have some kind of magical brain that remembers and keeps track of everything. We have systems and processes that make up for having an imperfect brain. If you refuse to try using any of the many tools at your disposal to cope with the things you struggle with then at some point those things do become your fault.
Like sorry you think I'm a bad person cause I'm late to a party that's going on for another 3 hours anyway. I already thought I was a bad person before anyway so no skin off my back I guess
I've found people get very combative when you say you're treated differently when fat vs. thin. People just don't want to believe that fat people, esp fat women, are treated poorly by society. Losing weight didn't solve all my problems but it did make my life way better.
idc about time blindness either lol like i understand it exists and that’s unfortunate but it’s not an excuse. you’ve know you have it for how long yet you can’t figure out a way to combat it?
idk man y’all gotta figure it out at some point. the shame you feel doesn’t take away from the frustration of the people who are always waiting on you.
I'm so tired of lateness being viewed as a moral failing. I've been shamed for it my whole life because it's framed as "disrespect" (and no, it hasn't helped me be more punctual) and if I lost out on a major life opportunity because of it I don't think I could have ever recovered
& yea if you’re consistently late it becomes disrespectful because you’re literally not respecting the other person’s time. there’s no dancing around that
