Imagine you're playing your favorite game, it feels like the whole day is gone in seconds, right? That's time perception. When you're happy or excited, your brain processes more information at once, so time seems to go by faster. It's like watching a movie on fast-forward when everything is fun and exciting.
Examples
- You're playing with your favorite toy, it feels like five minutes passed, but really only one minute went by.
- At a birthday party, the time flies even though you were only there for an hour.
- When you're happy during a movie, it seems over in no time.
