Psychological time: You live in the past or the future?

We catastrophically do not have time to live: the day before yesterday did not find the time to call a friend yesterday – read a book that has to give. Time is fleeting and it rushes with incredible speed. How to do everything? How to go one speed? And, perhaps, not necessary to hurry?

 

Tell me, how old are you? Well. Now the next question: how much would years yourself? I do not mean how you look and how you feel – your inner age.

Some people think that its age is much greater than its real rate that they have already lived for a hundred years. Others, however, feel younger than their years.

We will consider each case separately.





Psychological age is the Feeling that you're older

The reason that the person feels older than his years, maybe that in the past high concentration of significant events for the individual than in the present. In this case, the person thinking is in the past, it seems that all the most important events are concentrated there, and in the future this person of great hopes imposes.

It is worth noting this phenomenon in psychology as the effect of unfinished action, when a person slowly and painfully experiencing what is not completed (not necessarily by him). Here, too, is a fact of mental stay in the past.





The feeling that you're under

When in the past did not happen any significant for the individual events in this case are not the best way, people can live in their dreams, thoughts about the future. In this case, we say that person is mentally immersed in your future, lays great hopes on him, and his internal age, number of years, how he feels, surely it will be lower than the actual figure for people in this situation tend to think that everything ahead of him.

 

The person does not really can choose what time to live in the past, present or future. Each have their own living space, which is filled with friends, acquaintances, relatives, neighbors, colleagues at work, etc. Relationship with the closest people largely determines the time in which the person lives.

So, if you have loved ones in the present – you live in the present, if the close people were to you people from the past – you live in the past, if loved ones were not, and no – you'll stay in my dreams about them in the future.

 

Psychological time



We experience the fear of time because it will pass and sadness, and joy. Time is fleeting, Yes, but does it make sense to chase him?

They say that lovers do not watch the clock, partly the reverse is also true: those who do not look at the clock, he resides in peace and tranquility.

For us much more important is the psychological time than the one that shows the clock, and we can't keep up. Because psychological time can stretch, shrink, stop.

To summarize, we can say that it is human nature to live in different times. Just as are agreed between different personalities may be consistent past, present and future. published
