Always late for work or almost missing the plane, be careful that it may be suffering from time blindness (time blindness). Psychologists pointed out that this seemingly strange disease that “everyone can have an attack” is more common than most people think, and not only arriving late and leaving early, but also arriving early and leaving early, having no sense of time, and even being easily distracted may all be the onset of time blindness.

According to the “Daily Mail” report, psychologist Robert Common (Robert Common) said that the most intuitive definition of time blindness is the inability to recognize how long time has passed, or the inability to assess how long it will take to do something. Patients may arrive at a party 1 or 2 hours earlier or later. Another psychologist, Smriti Joshi, pointed out that time blindness can be classified as hyperactive disorder (ADHD), and patients cannot recognize time or have a “distorted sense” of the flow of time.

However, this does not mean that people with hyperactivity disorder will develop blindness, and anyone can get it or experience it. Sue Smith, a spokesperson for the British Association of Psychotherapy (UKCP), pointed out that patients may be extremely focused or distracted, and have no sense of illness. There are also studies that suggest that early childhood trauma may make people more likely to develop the disease.

Kang Meng also added that patients are easily misunderstood as lazy and stupid, causing troubles in work, life and communication, and even diagnosed with intellectual or learning problems. If the following symptoms occur, they should consider seeking medical treatment:

1. Often lose track of time

2. Inability to be on time or adhere to schedules

3. Repeatedly missed deadlines

4. Frequent daydreaming or trance

5. Getting preoccupied with one thing or thinking other things are unimportant

6. Unable to do things outside of the moment at hand

7. Overcommitting to something

8. Feeling stuck in the moment

9. Put things off

Experts have pointed out that time blindness is not incurable, and can even be alleviated by itself, and the method is to make ordinary things and do things according to the schedule, pay attention to the time at all times, set alarm clocks or timer reminders, but not too picky. However, the best solution is to seek the help of a psychologist or expert.
