more from that month
Is 'time' really that subjective? Over on a different site I frequent I will often see people talk about it being a 'long time' since they were last on the site. Now, occasionally it will be from someone gone for a year or more, and yeah, that can be a long time. But I also (quite often) see many people use 'a long time' to describe being gone for a day or so, maybe even a week. The other day I saw someone say they hadn't been there in 6 months---their activity showed them as active 1½ months ago. I often think that many people use the 'long time' reference simply to try to get more people to respond to them, which is kind of sad, to me. Although I do try to give them the benefit of the doubt---maybe they were trapped in time somewhere and it really seemed like ages to them. I kind of have my doubts about that one though. lol Here is a photo of me trapped in time...or trapped in the kitchen.

For those who are active by the hour I suppose even a day would be ' a long time ago'
time is ticking every second, so i think its not subjective.. time is always on present tense for me.. i dont know hahaha.. i use the word long time if i havent see or talk to someone for a long period.. say months or years ..not days ... ahhh i think you are trapped in the kitchen hahaha
A 'long time,' I suppose, can be a bit interpretive.
It depends to me, on how long they normally spend on that thing. Right now if I were to take a week off noise, it'd feel like a "long time".I guess can't say same for Instagram. So yeah... It's just our perception.
Difficult for me to comment. I have what I call a kind of "Time dyslexia" (my phrase dont look it up) I can say last week and mean yesterday or I can say an hour ago and mean last weekend. The worst thing is I know what i mean and when it was but it doesnt stop the wrong phrase falling out of my mouth. I even catch myself doing it mid phrase. It is not an uncommon thing for me to do. I have absolutely no idea why I use the wrong time phrases like this
According to the theory of relativity, time is subjective. It depends on the motion of the observer relative to whatever he's looking at, or something like that. I know physics is important and all, but it just ain't my thing.
