[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t plan anything and get invited to everything. I’m just not a planner. The people who love me know this and that’s all that matters. You guys are wimps. Analyzing every little thing. Invite people or don’t. They probably don’t care as much as you think.[/quote]

I believe you that you feel this is your character trait ( not a planner) but I’ve never understood this saying. You don’t schedule your dental or mammogram screenings, you don’t know when the major holidays are, you’ve never booked a vacation,  etc. and what if none of your friends were planners, then you’d never see them?

I don’t care about the issue being discussed as our friend and family groups just intuitively are able to initiate but seems like such an easy, or self- indulgent thing to claim. As an adult, we must be able to plan ahead.

And if you truly can’t, you’ve never sent a text at 9am or anytime saying…hey sally just got great fruit at the farmers market are you free by chance tonight to come over for coffee and apple pie. No planning, last minute stuff. Heck, I had a friend reach out 5 pm for a 7 pm Kennedy center show because family member tested positive for Covid. I said sure and went.[/quote]

The people who aren’t planners usually have a mild form of ADHD. And the people who don’t do spontaneous pie-baking or show-attending probably have young kids and/or demanding jobs.[/quote]
