subjective time

Subjective time refers to an individual's personal experience of time, which can feel faster or slower depending on circumstances, emotions, or attention. Unlike clock time, which is objective and consistent, subjective time is influenced by factors such as mood, engagement, or novelty. For example, time might seem to fly during enjoyable activities and slow down during boredom or stress. It reflects how our perception of time varies internally, shaping our experience of the world rather than the precise measurement of seconds and minutes.
