Time going by.

Does time seem to go by slower for you than for other people? It does to me. A couple weeks ago seems like a very long time.

For me it's all tempus fugit in the past couple of years actually. Since about 2003.

I feel as if time is going slower for most people around me.

They grow, they mature, they develop or whatever and they claim that the process of change feels so huge and slow to them.

I feel unchanged and stoic in a world that's ever changing on high speed. Everyone experiences a change and while I try hard to change too and have achieved some of that change, it's all just acting and not something that touches me in the core.

It's like... everyone is so busy with facing the new world, their mind is so occupied and stressed and I just stick to what I know and keep it with me and thus I can think a lot faster than them.

Time's sped up here.
If I'm focussing on an obsession, hours go by in minutes.
It's only slow when I'm bored for a long time, pretty ordiinary I suppose.

It flies by. I wish there was more time, I may be dead pretty soon.

For me, too. It's downright scary. But I think it's to do with your age. Time seemed to drag, when I was younger, but now, that I'm older, it flies.

In my school days, time was the slowest thing on earth, but now it's the fastest.

It depends. When I was at school, it was going slowly, when at the academy - faster, and when at work - incredibly fast. Now I don't work and enjoy every second of time slowing down. I have forgotten already how it feels when doing nothing... I mean I have all of my time for myself and doing what I want.

When I was a kid it went on forever, now its flying by

It's all about perception. When you're say, having fun, you're doing more stuff in a short period of time. This leads me to believe that there may be something other than gravity capable of warping spacetime, but that's another story.

Anyway, have you ever wandered off somewhere and focused in on something for what you thought was a few minutes, only to find out later that hours passed and people were looking for you? I have. It seems that special interests cause me to lose track of time.

Whenever I am at work the time goes by very slowly. In grade school it was tedious and exasperating, waiting for lunch, then waiting to go home.
At home it goes by quite quickly. Sometimes I wish I could freeze it making the "now" moment an eternal one.

When in school, slow.

After graduating college. Speeding by.

After moving in with my mother at 37. Slow as heck.
