Goldilocksism

When a friend, relative, significant other, coworker or acquaintance is incapable of scheduling or confirming plans too far in advance bc they're not quite sure how they'll feel mentally, emotionally and physically that particular day, and for that particular event. Respectively, they also refuse plans conceived the day of said event, bc it's too short notice and they don't have time to prepare.

The only reasonable solution is to invite them at precisely the right time, neither too early, nor too close to the event, but just the right time. One can equate this type of conduct to the uniquely unsettling children's fable Goldilocks and the Three Bears.

So, Goldilocks breaks into the bears cottage. The unsuspecting bears (Mama, Papa and baby) have left unexplained. Although it's not discussed, obviously the bears left bc of an emergency bc the 3 bowls of porridge were still full and Papa bear's pipping hot. After legit breaking and entering the bears cottage, Ms. Locks sits down at the table and precedes to help herself to the uneaten porridge, eagerly sampling each bowl until deciding baby bears was just right, leading her to greedily scarf it down.
This unconventional outlook they have, parralleling Goldilockses' esoteric precision but not quite mirroring her inherently pretentious behavior regarding her privilege and budding audacity, explains why Goldilocksism is quickly growing in popularity.
