Why nostalgia hits harder as we get older?
- Psychotherapist Chandni Tugnait says nostalgia can grow stronger as people accumulate more meaningful memories.
- Memories from our teens and early 20s may stay especially vivid because this is a key period for identity formation.
- Loneliness, boredom and stress can make people revisit warm memories because they may provide short-term emotional comfort.
- Old memories can be reshaped over time, while more songs, smells and places become triggers as our personal history grows.
