Hello my Steemians Friends.

Why does nostalgia attract us to those days and the secret of that feeling and the innate nostalgia of the past?

First of all, those days are true that they have passed but their impact remains in contact with us until our death, so that the formation of the human personality is at that stage of our life, the stage of reception, that the expression and composition of personality is closely related to the environment (place of origin) as a factor of personality formation , And thus not automatically we find ourselves to that period and to that place. Moreover, that period is the period of serenity because we did not tell the worries of the world, but it was far from us and on the shoulders of our people and as we progressed from age we have to that period because it is free of commitments

There is another reason, sometimes we fail in our lives in something and this is very likely to think about returning to that place in search of a new start with solid pillars because return gives us psychological comfort to make us free from negatives and remember only the beautiful times and thus smile on the face

The nostalgia for the past and the place where we grew up is only for those who lived a normal childhood. The place or time did not have a role to play in its misery. If the person you mentioned returned, it is not the nostalgia that has been restored but something else. The nostalgia and strength vary from one person to another according to the effect left by that temporal and spatial dimension.

It is normal during the holiday seasons to feel nostalgic for times gone by; for example, to our childhood and singing to celebrate the holidays, or to the meals we shared with the loved ones who left us. Scientists have studied nostalgia for the past and the happiness of pain, and found that this feeling is a positive function; it improves the mood, and perhaps mental health also; a study has shed light on the usefulness of feeling nostalgia for the past, and concluded that this feeling does not hold us in the past, It actually increases our morale and our vitality.

In many online and laboratory experiments, when researchers urged participants to delve into the past through emotional lyrics or memories, participants felt a greater sense of self-sustainability measured according to an approved indicator, asking participants questions that measured their sense of attachment In the past, and the essential aspects of their personalities that have not changed over time. Constantine Sedikides, a psychologist at the University of Southampton in England and lead author of the study, published in the journal Emotion, made the impact in a study he conducted in 2015. But in this study, researchers found that feeling nostalgic for the past fostered a sense of self-continuity By increasing the sense of social cohesion. Emotional memories often involve our loved ones, which can remind us of a social network that extends to many people over many periods of time.
