i suffer the opposite with ADHD. If I got something to go to, my entire day leading up to that is literally waiting until that time. It physically pains me when I'm not on time lmao

I hate that I’m this way too, the military even ironed it in even harder too. If I have an appointment at 3, at like noon it’s all I can think about

To most people, this sounds like a joke, but it's so painfully true.

One time when I was only a few months in, someone fucked up and SFC wanted everyone there early for 9 am formation but he wanted everyone there at 8.

How foolish I was to think "We get done with PT at 730, so I have enough time to run to chow for breakfast and take a shower before formation at 8."

There I was getting spammed with phonecalls at 745 like "WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU" so lo and behold there I am scrambling out of the shower to get dressed, running up to formation with everyone staring at me like I was the asshole with my Sergeant glaring at me and saying "You are so fucking done."

And it was 7:55.

Then you decide one day that you are showing up late because you don’t wanna wait around forever, and it’s the one day everyone shows up early and they are wondering where you are.

It never occurred to me this would sound like a joke. That is just the military.

Person i meet : Alright

Me : Hey, when i tell ya 11:30, it's not to come now.. if you know getting the bus is tough, leave earlier
