Imagine you're playing your favorite game. You barely notice the minutes passing, it feels like just a few seconds! But if you're sitting in class, time seems to crawl by. This is because when we're happy, our brain focuses on fun moments, making time feel shorter.
Examples
- At a birthday party, you barely notice it's already 10 PM.
- Playing video games for hours feels like only a few minutes.
- Eating your favorite dessert makes time disappear.
