3 Sure Signs You’re Suffering From “Time Blindness”.
Psychology: Those who are time-blind often have to struggle with many problems at the same time.
Always under pressure and yet never on time: Many people do not have a natural sense of time, which causes many problems in everyday life.
Always unpunctual, no matter how hard you try: For many people, their poor time management makes every day a tough test, without them being able to help it. A complete lack of sense of time, or “time blindness” makes it simply impossible for them to organize their day in such a way that they have an overview of all processes and that no important appointment is missed. In retrospect, those affected often cannot remember exactly when something happened. In addition, they often have difficulty estimating how quickly time is passing and find it incredibly difficult to put their daily routine in a meaningful order.
Psychology: Time blindness causes problems in the social environment
The effects of time blindness can be devastating, especially when it comes to education, careers, and personal relationships. After all, we all expect punctuality from the people we deal with – when they are late it quickly gives the impression that carelessness or a lack of respect are probably the causes.
Therefore, since most people have a natural sense of time, time blind people are often mistakenly viewed as indifferent, lazy, or irresponsible, which causes them additional stress. Often their whole life consists almost entirely of panicked rushing and meek apologies that it didn’t work out again.
Time blindness and ADHD: A treacherous combination
Time blindness is often associated with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) because studies show that people with ADHD are actually particularly often troubled with their perception of time. Either way – for those affected and their fellow human beings, the lack of sense of time is a big problem. In the video you can see three questions that show whether you too might be affected.
