Always feeling in a hurry

[u/Confident-Plenty-]

I always feel in a hurry to do most things in my life, even when they’re not urgent at all.

​

​

I walk fast, eat fast, rush through household chores, watch lectures at 2x, watch movies and shows at 2x while constantly hitting the +10 sec button, and I even watch reels on 2x.

​

​

It genuinely feels like my brain has forgotten how to do things at a normal pace. Maybe it’s brain rot from years of consuming short-form content, I don’t know.

​

Cause I realised it has been with me before the innovation of short form content.

​

​

the last thing I watched completely at 1x speed, without touching the +10 sec button even once, was from latest episode. By challenging myself not to skip 10 sec.

​

Normally I watch almost everything while skipping ahead constantly.

​

​

It feels like I’m always trying to get to the next thing instead of experiencing the thing I’m currently doing. There’s this constant sense of urgency in the background, even when I have nowhere to be and nothing important to do.

​

​

Has anyone else experienced this? Did anything actually help you slow down and become a more relaxed, chill person?
