Worried about my stimulus check and me checking a box that I could be claimed as a dependent though I shouldn’t have and nobody did claim me. I know Turbo Tax already had the Stimulus glitch and

My check could still be on the way, but im scared checking the dependent box disqualified me from receiving one?

You are correct.  Checking that you could be claimed as a dependent makes you ineligible for a stimulus payment, whether anyone did claim you or not.  You can file your 2020 return correctly next year and receive the payment then.
