I does seem like some people feel like they need to fill out their time, or they will get bored. And some even feel like it's other people's job to entertain them.
Personally, I've never felt like this. I always have so many interests, there's never enough time to do everything. Even if I don't have something to do, I can easily keep myself busy by thinking about stuff and coming up with new ideas. A friend of mine once complained that she hadn't heard from me for a long time. I thought I had visited her a few days earlier, but when I looked it up in my planner, it had actually been weeks. I had just been so caught up in my own thing, I hadn't even noticed.
I'm not sure if this is an aspie/NT thing or an introvert/extrovert thing, though.
