Are most crabs good with time management?

I ask because my best friend since high school has always been late for everything or makes us wait for her for hours, it's like she has no sense of time lol. I love her to death but what is up? It's been 9 years and I fear this will never change, no matter how much I complain 😆

Ok maybe hours is an exaggeration...

I'm chronically late but I try not to be. I'm a little better about appointments if I set an alarm but mostly I'm just late, even if it's 5 min. Why? Because time has little meaning to us. We're so busy with the internal world we have on top of the social butterfly thing and heaven help everyone around us if we happen to be creative because then we're getting engrossed in some art project or other endeavors and all bets are off as to time tracking.

I WAS married to a Taurus and he's annal retentive about being not just on time but 30 min. early if he had his way. That's fine if you have an appointment to keep but it would drive me nuts when he was being so militant about being on a time schedule for something that didn't require one. For instance, going backpacking or camping...there's no time that we HAD to be hiking, no one we were meeting or going to be late for and he would be this rigid, tightly wound asshole while getting ready for the event and have a fit if we didn't leave RIGHT when he had planned to leave. It would be so miserable dealing with him that I stopped wanting to do anything with him. He made fun stuff NOT FUN. He couldn't relax to save his life.

I have to admit to not always being on time... But I also try my best and I hate to have people waiting on me. So I can't fault her, there are times it does drive me crazy because we always have plans and I don't always get to see her so I want to get the most time out of our visits when we can. I know her responsibilities are very time consuming, nothing I can do about that... I'd just like her to be on time once in a while. I use to get soo upset with her, but know I just ~sigh~ and let it go! that's my boosky lol.

rofl...Well, CC, he really was horrid. Still is but now I can hang up on him when he's being an ass. He's a good example of taurus gone wrong. My brother in law is way more laid back and relaxed (also a Taurus). I think the ex embodies the unevolved type with all the negative traits amplified. Every sign has them and every sign has people who are horrid examples. Lets face it, if us Cancers don't watch for our negative traits and try to gain control of them we could be the poster child for Cancer's gone wrong: needy, clingy, stalkers, crybabies, manipulative, etc. Life is a learning experience. I did learn how to better manage my time thanks to the ex. He's still a motherfucking piece of shit asshole, though. 😉

edited to fix where a chunk got deleted on accident.

Though I do tend to love Cancers, I find they're terrible at urgency, scheduling and punctuality.

@CluelessCancer lol seriously...Cancers are just as stubborn

I do truly believe that having expectations and checking in has helped me, my Aries friend texts me multiple times prior to us meeting, and really gets on me-for instance if she's picking me up-she be like if your not out there im leaving-

that has kind of retrained my brain into respecting her time-she basically makes me feel GUILTY-IT works.

Haha I do the same thing to my cancer friend... At least now, she's almost ready by the time I get there... I'm more patient with her compared to our Gemini friend and others in our group of friends. She knows where I stand and I do see the effort she puts... I know if I don't contact her at least every 2-4 hrs when we have plans, she won't make it...

I just like to relax in calmness and enjoy my environment to the fullest... Ambiance is everything, chaos can be fun at times, but too much of it and I have to go restore my calmness.

I get like that, too, but a lot of it has to do with emotion. If I'm overwhelmed emotionally I'll go hide in my "cave" a bit and just want to be alone and quiet so I can mull things over, sort them out and then get centered again. Other times its just nice to unwind and relax and wallow a bit in the cozy niceness of home.

I'm definitely a home body these days so i understand...best moment...in las vegas i was throwing up-the taurus held my hair as i threw up...it was all so classy.

taurus-cancer moment

...why are we always the throw up comforters/cleaners/coach

Oh man, that's a level of wasted and drunk I plan to never ever reach!

Yea.. I've calmed down on drinking since then proud to say no bathroom trips! I go to hard sometimes (overindulges) = /

As a water sign/Cancer I hate not having control of myself. Therefore I almost never get drunk and I've never messed with drugs. I've never once had the desire to even go there. Surgery freaks me out for the not having control of myself part.

I'm always late, time management is something I'm not good at

lol i don't party that hard anymore, but when im being offered free liquor i never say no-so ahem it might happen again...

tht night in vegas so much free liquor and i just kept drinking and drinking...she was so sweet-somone said to me that's the classiest throwup i've ever seen.

bahhahahahhah

What in the world?! Throw up is never classy 😆, mine was downright disgusting! (Not cute at all)

@MoonArtist I hate losing control as well or not keeping up the image but that night was just a disaster! Was very upset

Ugh, I HATE, DESPISE throwing up! It hurts, it's gross, it's miserable feeling! I fight it tooth and nail until I can't fight it anymore.

Hahhaha don't be jelly, that when i threw up that one night, that someone complimented me on how i threw up, i'm a Cancer, we just classy like that.

No seriously when i throw up (and no not from alcohol, i have a weak stomach area), it's a nightmare, it comes from the organs-out, i heave, cry, and scream-its pretty disgusting..but i'll take my one night of classy-I deserve it.

lmao.

I am jelly = ( throwing up is never fun I Hate it too! for me just when I drank excessively, bile and everything last for hours, feels like everything is dying inside -_-

funny how this thread is suddenly about vomiting now when we started up on time management issues... lmao

the After taste is the worst... I'm all about TMI, very open about poop as well... idk what it is...

roflmao...omg, that gif! Perfecto!

I'm open but also not. It's a strange combo that makes people think I've spilled my guts when in reality they just got the tip of the iceburg.

😆 I Thought so too I Loove Zooey Deschanel! I would love to know her in person >_> (creep) I'm always spilling my guts... I think its only been a month or so since I joined (maybe not even that) and I've already spilled my guts all over dxp 😆

It might be the heavy Libra influence and then hanging out with us Cancers.
Loooook into our eyes! Yes, now feel calm and tell us all. 😉

I'm always late! 😢

NAH! We can always start again! = D .... uuh, for once I have nothing to say 😆

OH you sly Cancers, I'm immune to your tricks = P

Yup....constant tardiness.
My Moon in Virgo scolds me about it each and every time. 😢

My frosted flakes!!

oooh haha...

I don't know.
I'm punctual for anything business, and generally slightly early.
Planned vacations and events-timetable.
Casual parties - a little more loose.

I try and plan tasks so time is used more efficiently. Example - put stuff in the laundry (longest time), cook dinner (while laundry is going), and maybe vacuum/dust while dinner is cooking.

Aw what a sensible crab you are! (Do about the same routine)

I will say I take along time getting ready, but Taureans like to be prim and proper = )

I've had to train myself to be more timely, it doesn't come naturally. As for getting ready: easy peasy! I throw my wet hair into a sloppy bun and let it air dry all day (natural curls are all gorgeous later) and if I do my makeup its pretty minimal: eyes and lips.

NO!

I've gotten better at it.

My Cancer friend is extremely punctual, in fact he's always early when meeting at a designated time and loves to have things planned and organized.

i suck at it...
