When I was growing up, I had curfews. If my dad said be home by 10:00, he meant 10:00...not 10:01 or 10:05. I paid a price if I was late, so I'm hyper-punctual to this day. I've tried to get past this, but still find myself looking at my watch if my therapist is running late. I don't know if you experience this, or not, mindmechanic, but I always show up 15 minutes early for appointments so I'm not late. That's pretty fear-based stuff.
