Reasons why some people never manage to be punctual

Surely you also know people who never manage to arrive on time. Don't rush to judge them! Experts say that this behavior may be due to certain psychological reasons.

There are people who are always late for scheduled meetings. If you don't fall into this category, chances are you have a coworker or friend who is never punctual. Well, as annoying as this behavior may be, experts say there are various reasons behind it.

Too much excitement?

Psychologist Somya Zaman, who specializes in cognitive behavioral therapy, told Metro that some people who are not punctual do not do it on purpose and do not want to offend others. She explained that these people tend to have busy schedules and strongly believe that they can manage their time successfully, which is not the case. “Some people are afraid of missing out on an important opportunity, so they agree to any meeting. Their unrealistic plans are actually a reflection of their enthusiasm,” she said.

This may be a trait inherited from parents.

Another expert, Camel Moore, says a lack of punctuality may be a trait inherited from parents. For example, if the father or mother does not pick up the child from school at the appointed time, the child will interpret this behavior as normal and will intercept it in everyday life.

Psychologist Somya Zaman also said that some people suffering from memory loss or conditions such as ADHD or autism do not always manage time effectively.

So, if you have a friend who is always late to meetings, remember that there is always a good reason behind this behavior!
