@sbbigs: When I learned this term it gave me a lot of understanding and grace for this pattern of thought - I hope it does the same for you 🫶 #foreshortenedfuture #fightorflight #survivalmode #nervoussystem #nervoussystemdysregulation

What is it called? When you can't be present in the day to day, and all you do is imagine the future. But it still isn't a real future, more like future faking.

that’s why i coined bacterial futurism . we have no humanity-focused vision of the future

I never thought I would make it through my 20s. I'm 42 now, and it's very weird. Especially because I still can't plan for a long term future.

Since my divorce, I literally can’t think beyond MAYBE a week but usually just day by day.

I’ve been taking it one day at a time for 15 years because my child was born with cystic fibrosis which is a lot to deal with for my whole family.

The antidote is meditation on Chrono Expansiveness (Our life timelines are vast, wide open & extending far into the horizon). It is Teleo-Sovereignty (A reminder that -- In addition to Foreshortened Future -- we ALSO have some influence on the end goal).

I always hear that this is a result of trauma but I’ve had it genuinely since elementary school. I think it’s realistic to realize there is no point in any of this, and why would I expect to be around for a long time?
