Scenario

When friend groups struggle with different punctuality expectations and cultural sensitivity

Our multicultural friend group always struggles with making plans because the Asian members show up 30-60 minutes late consistently while others arrive exactly on time, and nobody wants to address it directly because it feels culturally insensitive, but people are getting resentful and starting to skip gatherings.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The group is losing connection because unstated time expectations are creating resentment that no one feels safe to address.
