TikTok user Sarah Trefren has recently gone viral for a video she posted recently where she claimed that she suffers from "time blindness" that makes her late for office on a regular basis. 

For those who are not aware, time blindness is a condition where an individual is unable to measure time accurately and ends up losing track of time. This condition is usually seen in people who have neurodevelopmental disorders such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), according to psychotherapists. 

It should be noted that failing to manage time is a common symptom among ADHD-affected individuals. People with ADHD struggle to plan things in advance because it may be difficult for them to imagine or plan far into the future.

The TikToker was mocked on the social media platform. While some agreed that they also experience the same problem, others recommended using alarm clocks, reminders and setting timers to tackle the problem. 

The video has garnered more than 4.6 million views and several TikTokers are posting videos sharing their experiences and whether it affects them.
