Time feels slower when you're bored because your brain isn't doing much, it's like watching a slow-motion movie. When you're having fun, your brain is busy and things feel faster, like a fast-forward video. It all has to do with how many things your brain notices and remembers.
Examples
- Waiting for a bus feels like an hour when you're bored, but it goes by fast when you're playing on your phone.
- Math class drags on forever, but the lunch break flies by.
- Watching paint dry is the ultimate time-slowing experience.
