Just the thought of being late drives you nuts.<\/p> <p class=\"p1\">If this is you, you'll find yourself very very early and having a lot of time to kill before your appointments.When the need to constantly arrive early becomes compulsive, there may something else triggering it\u00a0according to behavioral coach and hypnotherapist David Lieberman.<\/p> <p class=\"p1\">For example, it could be that you're constantly afraid of being left out of the loop for important information at work or concerned that others will start without you, and you hate asking anyone else for help.<\/p> <h2 class=\"p1\"> <span>On another's clock<\/span> <\/h2> <p class=\"p1\">We've all had beastly lunches with the girls where someone or another is always late\/ early. And this goes beyond simple manners, which causes unconscious feelings of inferiority in the early one, according to David Leiberman. Arriving early or on time for an event shows respect to others and reinforces a failing self esteem.<\/p> <p class=\"p1\">You could also read <em>Pyscho Minute<\/em>, by David J.
