In a shocking revelation, a groundbreaking study has uncovered that an astonishing percentage of people are plagued by the constant question "Am I slow?" The researchers have found that this phenomenon is more prevalent than ever, with a whopping 75% of participants admitting to questioning their pace of life.
But why are so many individuals plagued by this feeling of slowness? And is there hope for those struggling to keep up with the fast-paced world around them?
The Study
Researchers surveyed over 1,000 individuals aged 18-65, asking questions about their daily routines, work performance, and overall well-being. They found that:
- 82% of respondents experience self-doubt at some point in their lives, with many attributing this to feelings of inadequacy and slow pace.
- The average person spends 30 minutes per day comparing themselves to others, often leading to negative self-talk and feelings of incompetence.
- 56% of respondents admitted to procrastination, citing fear of being overwhelmed by tasks and feelings of slowness as major contributors.
The Truth About Slowness
Lead researcher, Dr. Emma Taylor, highlights the importance of recognizing that "speed" is a social construct. "People often compare themselves to others and assume they’re slower because of it. But the truth is, there’s no one-size-fits-all standard for pace. Everyone moves at their own rhythm, and it’s essential to respect that."
Breaking Down Barriers
The study suggests several strategies to help individuals overcome the stigma associated with being "slow":
- Practice mindfulness and self-compassion.
- Set realistic goals and priorities.
- Embrace imperfection and perfection is not the only standard of success.
- Focus on progress rather than perfection.
The Future is Bright
In conclusion, while feeling slow may be a common experience, it’s crucial to remember that it’s not a reflection of one’s worth or abilities. The researchers hope that their findings will promote a more accepting and understanding environment for individuals struggling with self-doubt and slowness.
Takeaway Messages:
- Slowness is not a reflection of your worth or abilities.
- Everyone moves at their own pace, and it’s essential to respect and appreciate that.
- Practice mindfulness and self-compassion to overcome feelings of slowness.
- Focus on progress, not perfection, to boost confidence and productivity.

Just working to replicate some results with my own implementation of a task at the moment, and I have only successfully replicated some of the study I am modelling after- with far fewer participants. But capturing some of the original study's effects is good news…right? I have many other manipulations I wanna implement in the future that should be very easy to compared to programming the initial scripts.
That being said, the stress is hitting right now. Family, medical, financial, professional. My results aren't anything super impressive, and I often feel like taking 4-5 months to design, code, debug, process data, and start getting preliminary results is way too long. But at the same time I have this thing that is finished now and never programmed for the web much until the start of this, and didn't really get any formal training for it. I did it all on my own. It took a lot of iterations of scripts and things to get right, and I did a little data collection here and there for other stuff.
Does the time this took sound ridiculous? I feel like part of me would think I should have gotten this done in a month.
(part of the answer to this is I am now unmedicated for ADHD because of issues with healthcare system in a new country, so there is a mix of not being so effective and also feeling worse about it that is clouding my judgement)
