Is it just me, or is time going by faster?

Lately I have been feeling that time is going by a little fast, and for some reason this saddens me, I feel like I havent made something of myself or done any thing in my entire life.

Does anyone els feel like that.

Have you been doing anything you think might be making time go faster fo you? For instance, are you doing a lot of work right now or are you looking ahead into the future or something. I ask, because I am curious why you do think time is moving fast.

I noticed that you "feel like [you] haven't made something of [yourself]." How old are you exactly, because I think unless you are in your late 90s or something you should still have plenty of time left.

I always find it funny when people say they are running out of time, because it is not that you are running out of it. It depends on how you are spending your time. If you think that time is moving to quickly and keeping you form doing stuff, then take some time off, and invest your time into something that feels meaningful to you. Sure, time runs out on all of us eventually, but you can always choose to live it up or let it pass. You might feel you haven't made much of yourself so live it up a little. Go have fun or do something you like. Spend your time the way you want, and I do not think you will be too sad.

I have known people to live a long time and never be as happy or do much in all there years as a man who lived less yet did the stuff he wanted to in his time.

Me too. I always wanted to be a artist, finish my college degree and everything but i'm broke, swing between job, have problem getting pay by my employers (no kidding, i send my second summon to my ex-boss. THat 2 people i had to sue to get the money i worked for fair and square!) and didn't get my drivers licence because i quit the class, been told to pratice in my own time but since the one that was suppose to teach me was fucking MAD, i never reschedule my last driving lessons. Im 25 and would be about 6 years older that anyone in college now. WHERE THE HELL DID EVERYTHING WHEN TO SHIT?

Actually, a recent earthquake has knocked the earth a bit off it's orbit. It has made a year about 1.5 seconds shorts.. Or was that 1.5 milliseconds..

there's actually a name for that its called the time lapse theory
basically it says that the longer you live the shorter your perception of time goes
and even more basically when you were 5 years old an hour seemed like a long time but when your 20 it seams shorter because you experienced more of them, then when your 50 it seems even shorter and so on.
hope that helped

That is the first time I have heard of that theory, but it makes a lot of sense.
I have noticed when I do a task, the first time I did it it took a while to do and was difficult, but now I do it and I am so used to it the task really does not seem as important or difficult. I figure if you look at life as one big task, the longer you live the less difficult it seems to make your way through the world. Things pass by you quicker than before because they are not as special after the tenth or hundreth time you have experienced it.

I wonder, if you start adding in new experiences if the time will start to seem longer. The theory says that as you experience more and more of something, it is percieved to go by quicker. If you have not experienced it, you will not see it as going by as fast. So maybe by adding new things to your life, you actually slow down time because your body keeps getting used to the new things. You do not get a chance to develope a percetion of quickened time because you never get that feeling that "I have done this before" or that "It used to be cool, but now I am used to it."

I feel like the complete opposite - I have to constantly check a clock to make sure time is moving at all. I fell asleep this afternoon and woke up, worried that it was tomorrow morning, and it had only been two hours. I can't recall anything that has occurred since then, other than the immediate reality. It seems as though time only exists when I'm looking at it, and the actual pace at which it moves is entirely irrelevant.

I've stopped measuring time in hours and minutes, instead I look at it in weeks and years. Sounds odd but if you think about it thngs that are that small, pale and seem insignificant in comparison.
