Time troubles

[Laeskis]

I often cannot remember what day, month or year it is. Forgetting what day it is really isn't very odd...forgetting the month isn't so odd...but forgetting what year it is? That seems unusual.
Also, most of the time I cannot remember how old I am without adding it up in my head. That bugs me...
My last birthday went by and I didn't know it until 3 days later...
A month can go by and it seems like yesterday; something I did day before yesterday I would swear I did today. Hours disappear without recognition and I cannot ever be punctual-
Does anyone know what causes this?

[cloakable]

Nope, but I can sympathise, I also have that 'problem'.

If I didn't have to know what day it was that would be awesome.. there are times I do forget what day of the week it is but it hasn't happened recently.. I wish the month, day and year weren't important but they are so strongly associated with the world's timeline among other things..

Same here and often also. I never wear watches and a rarely look at the time. I wouldn't catch my own birthdays if it wasn't for my family.

I never actually know what day it is. I have had weeks where I thought Monday was Thursday, Tuesday was Saturday, Wednesday was Monday, etc. I can usually figure out about what time it is and I normally have some idea of the year, unless I fall asleep during the day because, as naps royally screw with me, I am likely to wake up thinking I am an armidillo in the 1880's.
Actually, a couple nights ago I completely forgot about the existance of time and woke up thinking, "Wow, this is so relaxing...Wasn't there something that used to regulate my life? Oh, yes, time. Yes, time is a nice idea...but there was more...something used to regulate the time...School. Yes, school is what I am thinking of...I don't like school because I have a History test soon...Holy crap, that's today."

well then. I guess I'm going to cancel time and write it off as pointless.

My preference would be this response:

You define time by the event, rather than the reverse. You are certainly capable of making and keeping appointments by clock time (although you’re often a few minutes late) but in your mind you are living in a time interval based on a concept, activity or stage which you can clearly define. For you, a time period ends when a certain activity ceases, when a goal is reached, or when your attention naturally shifts rather than when a certain clock alignment occurs.

If time is defined by events and lack of activity completion, does it follow that if I never do anything and never complete any goals would time completely stop for me?
Just kidding. That rationale makes a great deal of sense.

There is a "time" thread on here, somewhere. Consider going there for a chuckle. (*being lazy*...to find the link, time has stopped for me).

I remember reading someone's drug experience on another forum.. he tried salvia and he said he felt that time disappeared and some other weird shit..

[Laeskis]

don't need that for sure....I already thought that it was tuesday all day long today...until about half an hour ago, that is.

I only lose track of time during the summer or long breaks, when I have absolutely nothing to do.

I usually end up on a weird sleep/wake cycle that is about 14 hours sleep for 28 hours awake. Until something snaps me out of this, I have almost no social interaction because I'm usually sleeping while it's daytime. I tend to naturally progress towards being nocturnal when I have no obligations.

Time is one of those things I don't think I'll ever understand. I feel sad sometimes when I realize how quickly it goes by when you want it to stay still. Sometimes I think that if I concentrate enough, I can go back in time to some place or event that made me feel good about life.

I hate how fast time goes when I am having fun. It goes too damn slow when I am at work. I normally forget what day it is during the summer.

[Boozer]

I'm with you guys, I tend to go nocturnal when left to my own devices. I'm perpetually 10 min late to everything. And since my job lets me come in anywhere from 8-10 and then stay 8 hours, I'm always coming in at like 10:30 :P

Oh I sometimes am off by a day or two but with my job and meetings I usually can keep track of what day it is. The date on the other hand I always forget if not for my watch.

I do not have any concept of time.

[jimkopelli]

I always wear a watch, always have. My watch tan is starting to get narsty... I have a dent in my wrist. I'm pretty good at small units of time, like five or ten minutes to an hour, but calendars mess me up.

I used to wear a watch all the time too cause I was chronically late if I didn't keep track of time.

Now I am on pretty good schedule with work. My watch battery wore out last year sometime and I took the watch off intending to replace. Has not happened yet and I am still watchless.

I wear often wear a watch and I never seem to remember to set it or even look at it.

If it were not for the little date and time property thingy on the lower right hand side of my monitor and the Halloween decorations cropping up on my neighbor's porches, I would not even know this is October.

I have a watch. Only time I touch it is daylight savings time or to fix the date. Always counts 31 days even on months with 28,29 or 30 days! I figured might as well keep it right incase I wear it someday. But time doesn't effect my simple life.

I forget to splash the toilet some times, and can have problems remembering what I ate.
