I really don't feel this at all. I am constantly doing new things, constantly learning things, and time feels like it stretches on forever. I'm over 40, so this isn't the effect of me just starting my career.
10 years ago feels 10 years ago, and this effect of time speeding up just doesn't register with me.
- handrous 5y agoThat's crazy. I'm coming up on 40 and I'd say a year feels maybe as long as three months did, when I was 18. If that long. Having kids seemed to increase the effect markedly, but it was already there.
- ImaCake 5y agoI am at 30 and the last year has felt just as long as 2011 did for me. I've been seeing these articles and comments about time speeding up since my teens and I am still waiting for it to happen to me. I am inclined to think the perception of time is tied to routine or behaviour and ageing is merely a confounder. This would explain the lack of time dilation for me - my life is still somewhat unstable and filled with novelty, so I don't really forget large chunks of time doing routine stuff.
