I often lose track of time, be it days, weeks or even noticing that the entire month has passed.

It's depressing to think that despite what little time i have it's passing me by without my noticing it.

Word.

Reminds me of the time l started counted the seconds and watching the clock. lt's amazing how mesmerizing that was. 15 minutes passed without me noticing much. l had to stop though because my sister said l was being an idiot staring at a clock and muttering numbers under my breath.

Man, I'm going by the calendar Gensokyo uses. It's only the first month of the year for me!

I get this too. The last 3 years for me have just been a blur. Nothing of note has happened, time is just passing me by. I'm gonna wake up some day as a 50 year old man and realise I've wasted my life. I just know it.

I feel the same way. Granted I feel like I have wasted my life and I am 24

When I think over my life, it occurs to me that I see it in events. Really, all I have of my life are memories, is that not true? And just as in a book, the more events that happened within that period, the longer it seems to be. When nothing happens, that part of the book are as good as non-existent. Yes, that's how I feel about my life.

I worry that something unexpected will happen. What if I die soon? What if I die tomorrow? Then I will look back on my life and see only small snippets of trivial things. It makes me feel every wasted second ever more acutely, and yet I sit here paralysed. What the hell am I supposed to do?

I dunno. It feels as though I'm looking forward to the future all of the time. I'm waitin for something to happen and then I look back and it hits me how quickly time is passing. I don't always think about this, it's only at times like these when I'm depressed.

It's strange to think how we are both insignificant and everything at the same time. We're all here for an imperceptible amount of time in the face of the universe, but we're all we have. It makes me want to make the most of my time here. Even the small, pointless things.

I just noticed that I made my depressing post here exactly one year ago today. I'd say that is proof enough for me of time slipping by. It has already been a year and... still sitting here. I've experienced some great things since then... visited some cool places and met cooler people. I even changed jobs amidst all sorts of anxiety. But like PoisonFlowers mentioned, the idle time may as well have not existed. I don't really feel sad about that anymore, though... This time last year was very difficult for me existentially. I've come to terms with a lot since then. I still wish to make the most of my time, but I don't always feel like there is something "better" I could be doing when I'm just sitting around and zoning out. I still hold out for the day that I realize my creative potential and/or how I could best spend my time. I definitely see no future for myself if I just work a lame job and do almost nothing else with my time. It is so hard to work up the motivation to keep going to a job when you feel like you are doing it for no reason. I don't know... Maybe I take special people for granted. I don't think I do, though. Life can be such a drag, man. I'm gonna go sleep on it, I think.

Wow, that's really interesting... I have an idea...

If you go through life making sure as little as possible happens, would it feel like you committed "indirect suicide"?

I mean your life will go by and nothing will happen and eventually you'll be dead. That's the same as committing suicide right? Except there's no pain involved and you'll be able to have plenty of time to waste instead of just ending it on the spot...

Like procrastinating for death the same way someone procrastinates for a big assignment or something... time will seem to fly by and before you know it, its the due date...

Yeah, same here. When you're a child a week is a very long eventful period of time. Now years go by in an instant.

i guess its the same for me. lately days go by too fast, i mean months go too fast. maybe they do because im at a point where i do consciously am wishing it wont? when i was younger i guess i never cared... whats on my mind was, well it wasnt just even on my mind.

i dont want to run out of years so soon... i just started living now. and im already old. its jsut unfair, maybe not since i brought this upon myself but regardless... i dont want to age that fast . oh god someone put me to cryo sleep or something i want to live long enough to see robots walking around and fly to space

I have the exact opposite issue.

Every day is an eternity for me. There's just so much time, and I have so little energy, so I end up laying down and wasting it. I feel like I'm serving out a prison sentence. I want it all to be over.

time is passing really fast. it feels like it was yesterday i started resturant school ,
and i graduate in 21 days, those 3 years went so fast :/


21 more days and i'll become a NEET

Facking hell I am terrified of graduation. So much to do before then...........

For some reason I thought you already were a NEET/hiki.

You said that you're gonna be a NEET which makes me wonder: Are you not going to bother doing anything with yourself once you've graduated? If not, those three years of restaurant school were a bloody waste of time.

I feel that when I don't do anything for awhile time goes faster, but if I go out and work/ be productive it goes a little slower.

time is running too fast for me.
I'm almost 30, and I'm afraid of getting old.

Time tends to go too slow for me, if anything. Probably because I feel like I'm stuck in a rut, and waiting on things to change.

I think i feel that time goes too fast for me... But it think it's more that i just know all of the books i will not be able to read and the movies i will not be able to see and all the things i will not be able to know, all due to my puny, short human life expectancy .

I'm in quite similar situation, I don't do anything with my life, waiting for something gonna never happen. but time run, my friends life's changing, and everything happens so quickly and fast. and me like staying behind the courtain.

My days basically feel eternal. They don't begin, they don't end. At least that what it feels like.

A single day seems to be blurry, endless stream of colour smeared across the clock, but later I realise that it's already 3 days or a week later. I can't really tell if I should call it flying by or slow. I just lost my track of it.
I still do that occasionally.

Practised this for quite a while and based on that I'd say: It does.
Once you get accustomed to it, I'd even call it convenient. But I wouldn't recommend trying, since once you get out of it, you might begin to realise how horrible you wasted away your life and time for nothingness.
