People remember negative experiences more often than positive ones.
Scientists believe that in general, people tend to notice negative experiences more than positive ones.
Researchers suggest that this phenomenon is due to evolutionary roots. For survival, it was more important for people to notice danger than to pay attention to the beauty of nature.
Attention to negative events, according to researchers, has adaptive value, writes The Washington Post .
In difficult situations, a person is forced to learn a lot of information in order to apply it in the future. The age factor also comes into play in this situation. Psychologists call the age of 20-30 the worst time in life.
Researchers found that attention to negative memories was more pronounced among young people.

Scientists say that older people are better at living in the present moment, while young people panic more and focus less on positive things.
Earlier, psychologists answered and revealed who will definitely betray.
