Being chronically late: The hidden warning sign of 'time blindness' in children
A chronically late individual may be suffering from 'time blindness,' a condition where people struggle to perceive time and its consequences, leading to repeated tardiness and stress. The phenomenon was revealed through the story of Alice Lovatt, who experienced embarrassment and anxiety due to her persistent lateness as a child.
A chronically late individual may be experiencing a phenomenon known as time blindness, which is characterized by an impaired ability to estimate time and understand its passage. This condition can have serious consequences in daily life, such as strained relationships and missed opportunities. Research suggests that people with time blindness often attribute their tardiness to external factors rather than acknowledging their own internal struggles with time management. The issue can be a symptom of a larger problem, such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or anxiety disorders.
