How do you doodle?
Most people doodle now and again, and some people doodle all the time. A doodle is a figurative or abstract drawing that you do when you aren’t thinking of anything in particular, when you aren’t completely concentrating on something or when you are daydreaming. People doodle when they are on the phone, in a boring lesson, when they are half-listening to their parents telling them what to do – or what not to do – and some say they can’t concentrate without doodling! But the fascinating thing about doodles is that they can tell us a lot about our personalities and how we are feeling. Here’s a quick guide to some of the more common doodles:
