Interesting property of nostalgia
    #23574126 - 08/24/16 08:22 PM (7 years, 5 months ago)

I'm one of those people who's almost constantly nostalgic (admittedly I think nostalgia is unhealthy most of the time).  However I've noticed that the time period/chapter of my life for which I feel nostalgic seems to remain at a constant distance behind the present time.

For example, 2 years ago, the time in my life for which I felt nostalgic was probably more or less 2 years before the time that I feel nostalgic for now.

I have come to view nostalgia (at least mine) as a type of opium for introverts, to create a warm-feeling sanctuary from the present and the future.

I am a very nostalgic person.

My nostalgic points don't really change, I mean over time more are added, but the others still remain the same.

Ah yes. I am constantly flooded with feelings of nostalgia. I love the feeling, many things set if off for me. Say the smell amd look of a crisp overcast fall day. There are so many others too, i think it happens atleast once a day. Im not sure if this has any meaning. Like i need to move forward and enjoy new things or is this a way for my brain to remember the things i never want to forget?

Yeah I know that other people might have more positive experiences with nostalgia.  For me personally I think it has held me back.  It is less happy and more "bittersweet."  I miss some of the past too much and it reminds me of how much worse the present is.

Additionally, I suspect that our memories of the past might not be 100% true to how the past really was, and that we might put the past on a pedestal just to have something to look up to.

Remembering good times is not a bad thing as long as you are making new good times.

nostolgia seems like when you do more and act around and make phone calls and stuff, reconnection

nostalgia is always a celebration of not letting the current bad feels seep in. i agree with our timeline, but if we regress along it it is all the same.

I dont really have any bad nostalgia its all feels good man. But i have bad memories just like anyone but those bad feelings dont really show up when i see something that relates to the feelings like nostaligia does.
