    Um, yes we do. I probably won’t miss many if any again but I missed two already and have always had loads of anxiety.

      Yep. I had anxiety to leave a meeting (normally only 30mins long) early and it dragged on for two hours. Finally I excused myself and sprinted out of the building. The bus had just missed the flight.

      Missed my high school best friend’s wedding, and that’s a friendship scar that hasn’t fully healed

      Spending so much time checking if you packed everything, you depart too late for the airport? It’s something my wife does. A few near misses because of that.

        For me it was just inexperience. Missed a domestic flight by 2 minutes and an international one because I thought an hour early should be enough but the Rome airport sucks and it was not. Now I usually get there way too early. But having anxiety didn’t stop me from making somewhat the same mistake twice!
