Declinism is a psychological bias where individuals romantically view their past as superior, leading to a perception that the present and future are dismal.
This cognitive bias can cause apathy and depression, as individuals focus disproportionately on perceived past glories rather than appreciating their current circumstances.
Addressing declinism involves changing your perspective, ensuring that your view of the past does not overshadow the potential joy of the present and future.
Declinism often manifests through expressions like 'It was easier back in my days,' highlighting a longing for a past perceived as better than the present.
