20 Women Admit The Most ‘Manic Pixie Dream Girl’ Things They Used To Do And It’s Painfully Hilarious

The term “Manic Pixie Dream Girl” is used to describe a female character who is “quirky” and “unusual” but basically just exists only for the development of the male lead. Recently, the MPDG term resurfaced when TikToker Amy Lovatt admitted to bringing a trifle to every party she attends so she came off as “quirky”. She asked Netizens to share their own “most Manic Pixie Dream Girl thing” that they do and the responses are both hilarious and painfully relatable.
