I know people say that time flies fast when we get older, but I'm not even that old, and it still went fast like wildfire. Like, when I told my parents or my friends about it, they realized that aswell. I cannot even remember what I did in a particular day in July, cuz time went so fast that it ended up being December.

What's the psychology about it???? Why is it, when we get older or smth the time goes fast like the speed of light?

nah you're not the only one man, i thought this year went really fast too
like it felt like yesterday was april ;-; but yea
and i haven't got anything done this year
so i'm working on stuff before new years

No, this year did past quite quickly for me too. It seems to be something that there is a scientific explanation for this phenomenon, or an attempt at one anyway. I didn't really read it because to some degree, it is actually quite nice.

For me, it was two years of 2021 and 2022. 2023 slowed down a bit. Probably because a lot happened to me this year

I felt the opposite.

I'm not sarcastic at all. I find it a blessing and a curse that time moves quickly as you age. We don't really have a real goal in this life. It's meaningless, unless we make our own goals as we go on. The more time passes, the more experienced we become at this game of life. If today I fucked up, I could fix things up tomorrow. Sadly, time doesn't really stop for us when we want to celebrate our wins. It's always going forward, never stopping for just a second to give us time to celebrate things properly. That's why it's a blessing and a curse, IMO.

Oh yeah. Time won't wait for you. (jamiroquai reference :o) it kinda sucks that we have a limited time when with hobbies but if i do something i like, time gets slow which is a interesting philosophy that physics can't explain.

I can understand the sentiment. The feeling that I didn't accomplish anything meaningful this year; days blurring together right in front of my eyes and I'm trapped in the sped up loop. Honestly, my mental health had been the worst this year, accompanied by the denial that I'm still living in 2022.

Nah its just how it be as we grow up, just a part of the body growing older, we start to filter days faster to only pick out specific events throughout a year

you're not the only one pal. like i wake up at 6:30 AM then in two minutes it's 1:56 PM, istg bro time is FLYING this year. hopefully 2024 is the same

as to why time goes so fast i think it's because you're not paying attention to the time. do you ever notice how whenever you pay attention to the time, it goes slower?

I recently asked my mother the same question and her answer made sense to me: childhood feels the longest to us, right? We gain the most experiences and impressions starting as children first, youth time and so on... It will just feel faster as we get older.

maybe we should travel more
Zinigo
2023 was like the fastest year to go by
MasterJoshua456
I thought that as well. Hopefully 2024 is better.

True but traveling is quite expensive. I always wanted to go to japan in the future

Trueeeee once it’s 7am the 1pm and them 6pm at the end. And time goes fast if you barely do anything to accomplish smth.

Umm, actually🤓...


As a person gets older and older every passing year could be seen faster than the previous one, since now it's a lesser part of your life compared to the previous year

For example - for a 5 year old, 1 year is 20% of his life, whereas for a 50 year old it's just 2%

Another one could link this phenomenon with the fact that with age you start losing a sense of time. Also, older people travel less and so they are limited to fewer and fewer options of the environment around them, which could make the time appear to go faster, since there are no changing factors and days could become weeks with very little to no change


And if nothing of the above is true for you, just take your meds ig

For me it's 2020 and 2021 that went really fast. Especially 2021 when all classes are online (and I played genshin all day). That year I went to school for a total of like 7 days total.

It's too fast I still think that 2015 was 5 years ago lol

This year was a year of madness for me; I've met so many great people and experienced a lot of feelings. For me, this year wasn't really boring to the point where time went by very quickly. If you'd said that in 2021 and 2022, I would have definitely agreed. I have the impression that it also depends on what happened during the year that makes you say it went quickly or not

haha you're not the only one...

I also feel 2023 is the fastest year among all of the other years

can't believe i haven't set a 100pp top play at 2023... ANYWAY happy new year

Every year becomes faster and faster, but for me it's most likely due to loneliness and depression, i think 2023 felt longer than the others tho..
