I haven't been waiting/I haven't waited for you since morning.

[Vladv1]

I know that when an action started in the past and continues up to the present, one should use Present Perfect Continious if the sentence is affirmative, eg. "I have been waiting you since morning", but if the sentence is negative, should I say "I have not been waiting you since morning or "I haven't waited for you since morning"? What's the difference. Or "I have not been playing football since childhood " I haven't played football since childhood". The examples are mine.

Don't capitalise the names of tenses.
In what situation would you need to tell someone that you haven't been waiting for them since morning?

Should I say "I have not been playing football since childhood" or "I haven't played football since childhood"?

Only the second works.

The examples are mine.

Thank you for providing the source in post #1.

Thanks. The situation is- A pal comes and says " Sorry, you have waited for me since morning" and I answer "No I have not been watiting since morning/haven't waited since morning

A more likely exchange is:

A: Sorry you have been waiting for me since this morning.
B: I haven't (been watiting since this morning (, only since one o'clock).
