“oh you have an appointment at 4pm? you are now physically unable to do anything after 7am you’re welcome :)”
me: Now I’m stressed. Time to lay in bed procrastinating until 2:45pm.

Me in my head: frantically starts trying to think up plausible excuses to get out of going without hurting anyone’s feelings, once again forgetting that they know about my social anxiety and would probably accept the true reason for me not wanting to go
If someone told me something starts at 3pm, that means they expect me there around 4pm, so ~4:30 to be fashionably late
Not here. Normal is at least 5 minutes early and the fashionably late types come on the dot. If you end up even 5 minutes late, you should inform the host immediately when you realize you could be running late.
