Why in the adult world, time flies faster

Mondo Psychological Updated on 2024-02-25

I believe that many friends have this feeling, when I was a child, I felt that a year was so long, I always looked forward to the New Year, and when I grew up, I felt that time passed so fast, and before I knew it, a year had passed! I even once wondered if I was a child and didn't have the same time as I do now.

Later, after careful consideration, I came to the conclusion that this sense of difference should be caused by two factors.

First, children do not have a complete sense of time. A child's perception of time is vague. For example, whether you play for 1 hour or 2 hours cannot be accurately perceived. In fact, if adults do not use clocks or the sun, we are not sensitive to the passage of time, scientists have done similar experiments, interested friends, you can learn about the "Stephanie Time Experiment" on your own!

Second, repetitive life can make us feel like time is faster. When we were children, we were in the stage of exploring the world, trying new things and learning new knowledge every day, and our brains needed to memorize a lot of things, so we felt more fulfilling. And adults usually do similar things every day, getting up, cooking, driving, going to work, etc., when we recall the past, the brain will compress similar pieces of life, and there are not many things that are really impressive, so we feel that time has become faster.

Therefore, we should cherish every moment, whether it is the long of childhood or the transience of adulthood. Keep a curious heart and continue to explore this wonderful world and fill our lives with color and vitality. At the same time, we must also learn to adjust our mentality, stay young and energetic, and let time flow more slowly in our perception. In this way, we can better taste the bits and pieces of life and feel the charm of time!
