I dunno. Why would making it to something on time stress you?
The answer to both is, it doesn't matter. You don't need a detailed understanding of someone's psychology to understand that doing X stresses them out and it would be kinder not to do it.
- ufo 9y ago> Why would making it to something on time stress you? If you are doing something before it is time to leave you might need to rush it to be able to leave on time. Then, after you leave you might get stuck in traffic or come across another unpredictable thing in which case you get worried that you might not make it on time. > understanding of someone's psychology I think punctuality is more of a cultural construction thing than an individual one. When I am in my home country I don't think twice if someone is late by 15 minutes but if I am in one of those super punctual countries I start worrying that something might be wrong when that happens. There are also differenct expectations of punctuality depending on the context. If it is a work related meeting then it is very important to get on time but if it is for a social activity then less punctuality is expected.
- watwut 9y agoI haven't said any of that stresses me. I tend to be on time anyway, actually. It is true that when friend is angry with me or yell at me, I don't like that. Also, I prefer friendship of people who don't expect me to be perfect and don't act like primadonnas when things are not their way or are not super perfect.
