About this listen

Freaked out by her fortieth birthday, the creator and executive producer of Never Have I Ever reflects on the importance of good friends--and the mortifying obligations it takes to keep them.

Yes, Mindy Kaling is the genial Hollywood celebrity who posted twelve selfies from a single Oscar party, but that smile took work. In this hilariously honest essay, Mindy reflects on the social anxiety that she traces back to the slices of white cheese her parents served at her ninth birthday party. Little has changed in thirty years--least of all the fear of being judged forever. It’s probably best to just back away.

From the acclaimed writer, actor, director, producer, and New York Times bestselling author comes Nothing Like I Imagined. In these essays, Mindy Kaling shares the latest chapters of a multitasking life in Hollywood. Read or listen to them in a single sitting. Either way, they’re pitch-perfect.

This got me excited about reading more from Mindy. I really like her. The book ended sooner than I had expected! Looking forward to downloading and listening to more.

i really enjoyed listening to this book. i’m a very outgoing person but i do not enjoy the company of people i have not met before. i love the company of familiar people. i would not say i have social anxiety, but i relate so much with mindy’s stories, and the conclusions of preferring to be lonely than to be bored, and preferring to be lonely than to be with surface level fake friends with whom no true intimacy or vulnerability is shared (that stuff exhausts me). i really appreciated this story (and enjoyed it much more than the first one in the series).

Mindy’s entire perspective on social anxiety all the way back from fourth grade gives me a smile knowing all my inner thoughts about groups of people and fitting in are normal.

Picked this up looking for something funny and a little mindless, and this couldn’t have been more perfect. Love the author’s reading, love the relatable comments about being an introvert at social gatherings. It was a nice palette cleanser.
