There are few habits as infuriating as someone making us wait. But, despite what may be running through your mind as you’re kept waiting again, it’s unlikely your friends and colleagues are just being selfish. A look into the psychology of lateness offers a glimpse into a mind that may be malfunctioning. But there’s also more than one fix.
Perceptions of unpunctual people are almost always negative — even if misguided.
" It is easy to perceive them as disorganised, chaotic, rude and lacking in consideration for others," says Harriet Mellotte, a cognitive behavioural therapist and a clinical psychologist in training in London. " Outside of my clinical practice, others being late is something that can particularly get under my skin! "
But, many late people are at least somewhat organised and want to keep friends, family and bosses happy. The punctually-challenged are often excruciatingly aware and ashamed of the damage their lateness could do to their relationships, reputations, careers and finances.
"While there are those who get a charge out of keeping others waiting, if you’re typical, you dislike being late," Diana DeLonzor writes in her book Never Be Late Again. " Yet tardiness remains your nemesis."
Some excuses, particularly for acute lateness, are fairly universally accepted — an accident or illness, for example. But others aren’t so easy to swallow. Some late people will pass it off as a symptom of being big-thinking and concerned with loftier matters than time-keeping, as an endearing quirk, a mark of doing one’s best work under pressure, or having the body clock of a night owl rather than a lark.
Joanna, a teacher in London who didn’t want her surname used, says her reputation for being unpunctual can sometimes be attributed to a difference in opinion. "A friend will ask me to come over, and they’ll say ‘ come any time from seven,’ " she says. "But if I do turn up at eight or later, they’re annoyed."
Being consistently late might not be your fault. It could be your type. The punctually-challenged often share personality characteristics such as optimism, low levels of self-control, anxiety, or a penchant for thrill-seeking, experts say. Personality differences could also dictate how we experience the passing of time.
According to Harriet Mellotte, unpunctual people who are not his patients_________.
选项
A、make him understand them better
B、irritate him very much
C、offer him a different perspective about lateness
D、are likely to be successful in their careers
