    I personally think it’s an illusion. Like the older you get, the more you become used to living the same routine to the point where every day feels like the same day. Then when we look back, we’re shocked that a lot of time went by quickly when in reality it was moving normally. Edit: Why is this random comment from a year ago now just getting replies?

    Literally this is what I was thinking too. When you're young you explore new things about life and yourself frequently. The difference of your life (or your perception of your life) at age 10 and age 15 is very different. However this is not the same for the ages of 60 and 80. You're pretty much set by 60, you know what you enjoy, what you hate. Thus, you live accordingly. Of course you can still do new things learn things but the chances are it's gonna be less. So, maybe to avoid this "illusion" if we don't live a monotonous life and do new things frequently we can slow our sense of time at the older ages.

The month she spent in the ICU was very long, and for me that month solely was longer than the last two years. When the realization occurred i've had a panic attack. Watching this make me feel so less overwhelmed by it.

    I'm 22, about to be 23, and probably a month from now I'll be looking back and wondering how it's been an entire month since I wrote this. It's made me discouraged because I haven't accomplished a fraction of what I hoped to in life. But, the more I think about it the more discouraged it makes me, and that's the problem... It can become a vicious loop if you're not careful. Honestly what helps me is reminding myself that the mind has quite a lot of power over the body. If you make yourself do more things instead of over-sleeping or putting them off, you will feel like you haven't wasted as much time

    ​@@smugglercat6638 I feel that way sometimes too. I even think that it might be good in a sense. As a sort of guidance or check up with your younger self. There is this album called "Days" by Real Estate. And for me it just perfectly captures this complex feeling. It has this easy summery vibe to it, yet at the same time this deeper sense of nostalgia too. It is profound yet simple at the same time. Its just very beautiful to me. When I listen to It, it brings me back there, to this feeling I had when I was teen, riding my bike around during warm summer nights and trying to find beer hanging out with friends. Simple things. Maybe its because I used to listen to that album at the time too, so now the music just brings me back to my best memories. But even today I find some peace listening to it simply driving around windows down. Makes me relive this feeling that I had back then. Something that is so hard to put into words. Anyway I though maybe it would make you feel the same way.

    Also wanted to mention as kids, we have less on our plate to deal with, our priority is having fun, socializing, etc, and as we age, we face bigger problems that can affect our everyday thinking, as we constantly HAVE to either be planning or worrying. Everything was also new to us (we’ve never experienced life) so it made every day feel like a new journey.

    I guess the most incredible thing about this video is it's comments session. The video gets people of multiple ages and in multiple points in time and in multiple places in the world to share their perception of time and life experiences, and this is so enriching. I mean, it is incredible to read a 14 year old person talking about the shift he had from when he was 9, which was 5 years ago, and then reading a 63 year old talking about how the last decade passed so fast. I mean, everything one saw in it's entire life happened in what it feels like yesterday to the other. And probably none of these people are now, while you're reading this, the age they were when they said those things. As of now, I'm 30, but I don't feel like it is fair. I mean, how could I be 30 years old today if it feels like it was last year that I was 23, when this video came out 7 years ago?

    In terms of vacation (let's say 2 weeks) I always felt that time passes much slower than 2 weeks of daily work, I think it's more connected to the new information going into the brain, a movie appears to end faster when you already watched it rather than the first time watching it. Life's the same, when you are kid, every experience is new, when you get older, you do everyday dozens of things you've already done a lot of times, so the brain erases repetitive memories. You won't remember exactly what you've done a random day back in 2016, but you'll remember with detail the day that you graduated just because it's a unique experience to your brain.

    Basically in childhood it's our first time experiencing the world around us, so we spend a lot of time looking at tiny details and imagining how things work By the time we reach adulthood, we overlook a lot of those same details. A combination of a repetitive routine and work stress coping via forgetting what happened during the day creates the perceived acceleration of time

    Yep, that's how I would explain it too. Well to be fair the video mentions it but in a different way. But i think another missing factor is having way more time to kill when you're younger. It's mostly school, including any extra curricular activities, and everything else outside of that. No stresses, no worries for the most part and a lot less repetitive routine work. As an adult, we get bombarded with mostly mundane tasks literally every single day and a set routine when it comes to work. The days mesh and even get lost. This results in thinking time is flying when we're just merely to busy to even notice it.

    When you were 2 years old, 1 year was half of your life and as such it feels like a long time. When you're 80 years old, 1 year is a small fraction of the total amount of time you've experienced. The more days, weeks, months, and years you go through. the faster they will feel.

    I've been pondering this lately, and this vid makes so much sense. I read some of my teen journals, from a time when everything seemed like an event - life was exciting with newness. Familiarity leads our brains to taking neural short cuts, that's also how we get better and faster at things we're learning. Hence a short cut in time, or a Wrinkle in Time. Suddenly we are here now.

    Have you ever driven to a place you've never driven to before? Your first time going there it seems to take a while. But then you go back a second time and the drive seems much shorter, even though it's the same distance. Maybe this is a similar thing that happens as we age. We become more familiar with the flow of the day, seasons, year, and moving through time in general. When we're younger we're still learning so much about everything around us and in life. There are less unknowns as we become older. Much like when you become familiar with a traveling route.

    I sort of disagree… maybe this isn’t a universal thing you’re speaking of. I find that the first handful of times I go somewhere it’s quick… then overtime it takes longer as you get used to the things you see and become bored. Don’t assume that’s a shared experience, cause I don’t think it is. I feel like the same is for this video. I don’t agree time is moving quicker as I age and I’ve asked some of my elders and they disagreed as well. It’s more so about stimulation of the mind. Anything takes longer when you’re fixated on the ends. And anything moves quicker when you are distracted from the ends.

    I honestly feel the opposite. When I go somewhere new, I'm immersed in the new sites and the absorption of the route. It seems to just fly by, but if I repeat the trip it's not the same. The more often I do, the more routine and mundane the experience becomes. The longer it seems to drag on.

    I discussed this with my old singing Italian barber (yes really! He is retired now though) a while ago. He asked me "when was the last time you did something new? Time seems to pass faster because you are in a routine and are doing the same things day in, day out. When you were younger, time was slower because you felt, saw, discovered, and did things for the first time. Keep exploring the world and trying new things in your life, and time will keep passing slower." And I have to say, yes, he was so very right with that!

    This has made me learn something about some of my classmates. I'm in college, 20 years old and the ages of my classmates range from 17-22. We're in the same grade, yet the ones fresh out of high school seem to get distracted way quicker than me and others that are 20+ do. 2 hours of a class to me seems like not a super big deal, but to my younger classmates it generally seems like a bigger deal than it does to me.

    I felt it start at the same time I began 7th grade, and the first four weeks that school year passed in a blur. But in my second semester of 8th grade, time slowed back down to a more comprehensible speed, and it's stayed at that new speed consistently since then.

    Sorry but I have a different theory, i think it's about something happening in space and all like how time passes differently near objects of varying gravity and all coz you see not just us, ask the kids even they are feeling time fly by unlike us when we were kids. This is something else, we are missing something.

    I have always noticed that on a one week holiday, the first few days seem to go on forever and then the rest speeds by in a blur.

    I've lived with serious depression since 12 and am 21 now, it does slow things down a lot i feel like, but what I've noticed mostly is that it kinda takes away my ability to look back on things since i can barely remember anything because of it. As a musician though i have some general perception on time. so in most cases while i know what time it is or how much time has passed, it rarely aligns with how much time i feel has passed. that only applies to situations i am actively in. if it's more than a few days ago it could as well be years.

    Pfffft! Depression is hard to get out of because it gives "distorted" pleasure to one pondering over negative things. Also being depressed and being afraid are different things. It might not be easy to recognize for someone who is first time depressed or has only been short time depressed, that depression gives that kind of pleasure. And it totally makes sense, that's why it's so destructive cycle.

    Very enriching. I can definetely conclude that key events alter your time perception. When a child is born, a divorce and the death of a parent all can cause "jumps" in time perception. That together with the first explanation (fraction therory) kind of causes the whole effect. You mentioned that a six year old would have lived half of it's life by the age of 6 according to the "fraction theory". I think it might be exactly that if we talk about discovering life. A kid will have the most amount of new experiences compared to a 60 year old person. And that might be 50% of it's total life experience, I believe. All "routines" are just not experienced as conscious as new events. Time for Science!

    I think the main reason this happens is the focus thing. When we are a kid, everything is new as you said - and therefore we have a tremendous amount of information getting in our brain each day making them feel longer. When you grow up and start getting used to life, your attention is way more selective. Nobody tends to wake up and analyse in details every detail in the room for example, or in the street. We know the wall is a wall so our attention is not directed onto that. Same goes for actions and basically everything - we automatise things, driving - routines - dressing - so much things we don't need to focus on anymore. This is then amplified by other things - we spend more time in our thoughts, because we now have concerns, complex thoughts, memories etc. And time spent in one's own mind makes the time feel very very fast, it's an abstraction from the present moment. Same goes for the flow thing you described, focusing a lot and giving it all for something means making abstraction of everything else around to purely focus on one thing, which means abstraction from the present moment again, and times feels faster. And with the high tech and connected society, it's even increased since time spent in front lf screens create this effect. Therefore, as adults, we are constantly in some sort of abstraction, be it automatisms, focus or thoughts, and that's why time feels quicker.

    German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer in his work "Aphorismen zur Lebensweisheit" in the chapter "Vom Unterschiede der Lebensalter " dedicated a little bit to this topic. This chapter impressed me a lot and proved to be very instructive. Schopenhauer also wrote even then that it would be fundamentally due to repetition. Here are a few excerpts from the chapter: "Namely, life, in all its significance, is still so new, fresh, and without dulling of its impressions by repetition, before us, that we, in the midst of our childish bustle, are always occupied in silence and without any clear intention, to grasp from the individual scenes and processes the essence of life itself, the basic types of its figures and representations. We see, as Spinoza puts it, all things and persons in the light of eternity. The younger we are, the more each represents its whole genus. This diminishes more and more, from year to year: and on this rests the so great difference of impression which things make on us in youth and in old age ... As long as we are young, we may be told what we like, we consider life endless and deal with time accordingly. The older we get, the more we economize our time. For in later age, every day spent arouses a sensation akin to that which a delinquent led to the high court has at every step. From the point of view of youth, life is an infinitely long future; from the point of view of old age, it is a very short past; so that at first it appears to us like the things when we put the lens of the opera-goer to our eye, but at last like the eyepiece here. One must have become old, thus have lived long, in order to recognize, how short the life is. - The older one becomes, the smaller all human things appear: life, which in youth stood before us as solid and stable, now shows itself to us as the rapid flight of ephemeral phenomena: the nothingness of the whole emerges. - Time itself has a much slower pace in our youth, therefore the first quarter of our life is not only the happiest, but also the longest, so that it leaves behind many more memories, and everyone, if it mattered, would know more to tell from it than from two of the following ones."

    My theory is a bit different. I believe things appear longer when your younger because you are always waiting for a event. Birthdays, school, Christmas and many more events. Waiting seems to extend time in my mind. Therefore as we age we have less things to be excited about and time appears to slip by. Thats my theory.

    I graduated in 2016. This is what gets me: I remember in high school thinking man this is going so slow, I have 4 more years until I graduate?! 6 years have passed since 2016! Thats high school and a half all over again, insane! In 2016 graduated, went to university right after, dropped down to community due to bombing my SAT/ACT and having to take beginner courses drove me insane, not having a single course related to my major...Those couple years or so at Uni felt somewhat fast but not like what I feel these days. I was underperforming but still experiencing new things. At community everything was going fine, now this was a bit faster than what high school time was like though. Then boom covid, everything online. Learned almost nothing in class and lost contact with meeting new people. That is when time started blowing by for me personally. I would believe it if it was still 2020... I guess what this means is not actively experiencing new things makes my life more repetitive which makes time speed up. I do not play video games for a fraction as much as I used to but the overall years are somehow faster! Back then even though I spent so much time playing games I was still doing different things, going to friends houses, talking to more people, experiencing the world a bit more. That is all it took to offset 40+ hours of video games a week. Without those things no matter what don't do time is fast.

    I heard that the reason time flies when you get older is because you experience fewer new things. Life becomes a routine and most days are not memorable. So when old people try to go back in time to find memories, they feel like the last months didn't even excist. Just like we all feel that the year 2020 doesn't exist in our memories because we didn't experience much memorable during lockdown. That makes 2019 feel like one year ago and time went fast forward.

It feels like we never lived it, 2019 and then 2021, just lived some weeks in 2020, doesn't matter how hard I try I can't really focus on nothing from 2020, I can't really catch anything important to attach myself to. And that also might explain why those 3 days in Florence are so important to me, like I can't even begin to explain why I felt so good, I never felt that good again even with my GF in the past 18 months.

That time you spend remembering takes up time, so when you stop, you missed the present time so it seems like more time passed, thus it went faster. Or something like that.

    Many people older than me, like my parents, tell me often that they're feeling time flowing so much faster than when they were young, and started to have such a perception when they were about to reach 50 years old. I'm 48 years old now, I feel that time seems to flow faster than when I was younger, but not so much, I perceive time flowing evenly day after day and still feels like it's quite long. I'm someone who's not worrying too much about tomorrow, which make time to seem going slow, and rarely experience boredom, which make time to seem going fast. I guess there's some kind of balance, and wish it will remain like that. I remember a really strange experience I had and never happened again. When you fall asleep at night and wake up in the morning, you still somehow have some conscience that you have slept many hours. One day, when I was 7 or 8 years old and visiting my grandparents, I went to bed for night, and at a moment I consciously blinked my eyes for about two seconds, and when I've opened them, it was the morning. It really felt like the night lasted two seconds. I was in a very good mood, but I was so puzzled at the same time. I've told about that to my grandmother; she explained me that I should had been so tired, so I felt asleep so fast to see it coming. I'm pretty sure she improvised that explanation, but it makes sense. I've learned many years later that some people experience that every single night; it's like their brains shut down so abruptly when they fall asleep to make that perception to happen, while most of people fall asleep gradually.

    As a Christian, I find that the more I learn about God and the Bible the more exciting each year becomes. He is an infinite God and I am a finite person learning more about Him. So, in a way that kind of makes sense. I like the feeling of time flying by because there is something exciting about it.

    My doctorial thesis went over this, and my end theory was a bit different. When you're a kid, you have a lot more "free time", so you value time less than you do when you're an adult. As an adult you understand better that you have a lot less free time. You have to work, there are obligational chunks of time used, say for house chores or maybe getting your car serviced, even just going to work. When you are younger you don't have to worry so much about not having time to do something you want to do, because you have a lot less obligational time. But as you grow older you get more obligational time in your day, and it seems to grow continually as you age. First, it's due to maturing and the need to satisfy your responsibilities, and then as you reach retirement it's the knowledge that you don't have a lot of time left. As you start to face death, either by losing those close to you or just reaching the point where you have so much you want to do and have never done, your conscious mind starts to understand that every minute you have left is numbered. And you start to feel that you are running out of time. Once you begin to understand that everyone does die, you now see time in a bottle, it's limited. It's not just a tap you can turn on like you did as a kid, you know eventually the bottle will run out. You start to appreciate time more, you value it far as you age, this leads to time seemingly being so short. That aging makes you feel like you've missed a lot of time in your life over the mundane, because of all the obligatory time you have had. Vacations are faster, days off blow by, because despite the fact that you have free time now, compared to the obligatory time you have, it's a much smaller amount. An older person who has memory issues, enjoys a slower passing of time. They don't remember the obligatory time they have had, they don't remember the time they have "wasted" in their lives, so to them, it's much like a small child again. This helps to prove that the passage of time is a subconscious view of the time used in your life. When your brain can't or won't process in the moment the amount of time you have used, compared to the knowledge that it will run out, time slows down for you. But once you realize more and more that you just don't have enough time in your day, you're perception of time seems to speed up.

    So it's all stress related and we killing ourself by obligations of repeating the thought process which limit the space for other thoughts to be in the moment. Is it why people with stress are feeling less when walking the woods as their brain focus on a single task. Time fly by as the brain is overstimulated by all the faces and tasks they have to do. Stimulation is happening when you see a pretty person. Devices who stimulate make time fly faster. We're programmed to feel a stimulation of doing a task over again. Our breeding technique is based on repetition.

    I’ve been driving manual transmission cars since 1977. I used to be aware of every single shift. Then one day, probably in the early 1990’s, I was at a red light. It turned green, I was driving down the road and I noticed I was in my top (5th) gear. I did not at all remember doing any of the shifting from 1st, to 2nd, etc. It was as if I started out in 5th gear and never touched the shifter. I think all of our daily life, by the time we are older, is mostly repetitious. Doing repetitious things is not noticed as much by the brain and in effect time seems to go faster.

    If you live to be 80, you reached temporal middle age at 27. People who seek novelty can stretch their middle age beyond 27. Vacations, learning new languages/instruments, new cultures, new hobbies/arts, etc, these are enriching moments that force the mind to take a deeper impression thus also slowing down the perception of time. Learning new tasks forces the mind to be engaged, the more thoughts/neuron pulses per moment of time, the longer time is stretched.

    What do you mean by “temporal middle age”? 26.66 is 1/3 of 80. 2/3 is 53.33. 50% would be 40, which is middle age. Age 20 means you’ve reached 25% of the average lifespan, meaning a quarter of your life on average is over. Scary when you actually think about it…

    I haven’t even started watching but first thing that comes to mind is that when we’re kids up until 21, everything feels like it’s evolving and we’re set on a path for growth and development both physically and mentally. But as we get into our 20s and later, it’s really all up to us individually to keep progressing and I think a lot of us fall short, years pass by, and we feel like we haven’t grown or accomplish much. You periodically stop to reflect and realize “wow, not much has really changed”. That’s how I feel at least
