Girls: What if you have nothing to do?

[Anonymous]

I hear girls MUST be doing something at all times when they are awake. Does that include thinking? You know that stereotype of the male “nothing box”. I can confirm I use it all the time. Hypothetically, what if there was nothing for you to do or talk or about? No topic to even think about. What will happen? Maybe to help you imagine, you are in an endless blank space by yourself, but I’m more curious about the reaction in the real world. I also daydream to fill time but some people say they don’t.

Dude, I don't know if it's exactly true that girls have to be doing something all the time. I think some people just get bored easier than others, you know?

For me personally, if I had nothing planned I'd probably be on my phone a lot - scrolling Instagram, watching TikToks, texting friends. Just to pass the time and see what's going on with people.

I might put on a show or movie too if I was home alone. Or doodle in my sketchbook, I like drawing random stuff when I'm zoning out. Some girls play guitar or write songs too.

And yeah, daydreaming for sure! I spend a lot of time just thinking about stuff, dreaming up stories in my head. Sometimes I just get lost in thoughts, like imagining different situations or conversations.

So in short - phone, art, music, reading, movies, daydreaming. I don't think I'd freak out with nothing to do, but staying busy is usually more fun. As long as I've got some way to be somewhat entertained!

Yeah but that is not the nature of my question. What if you didn’t have that violin? What if you couldn’t afford a violin? (Sorry if it’s not a violin). You run out of things to do and are unable to obtain anything else to do things with. You are alone.

It never happens. I am always doing 2–3 things at the same time.

What are things lower on the list of things you occupy yourself with? Like if you’re running out of things to do.

Or those things something you don’t necessarily enjoy but you’d rather do that than nothing?
