20 Minute Story

Yeah— I wish I would have noticed this was only a 20 minute story before using a whole credit on it.

disappointed but thrilled?

what the hell? I spent a 13 dollar credit on a 20 minute story. I was disappointed. I was so into the story and love the author but when it ended I was left feeling shortchanged. I wait for credits, pay for credits and they are priceless. when comparing this brief experience with something like Michelle Obama Becoming, you've got to be kidding. provide appropriate content for the money invested. boo! on you!

Trying to make friends

(Wo)man, I related with so much! I currently have my husband and my sister as best friends and can see Mindy as one :) I love everything about she was open and honest with her social anxiety and how she is such an awesome person who embraces her fears by allowing others in with this piece.

She’s so funny

Who would have known Mindy Kaling had social anxiety? It was cute to hear her experiences of making new friends and attending birthday parties.

¿Audiolibro gratis escrito y narrado por Mindy Kaling? Por supuesto que si!
El cariño que le tengo a todo el cast y creadores de The Office es enorme, Mindy Kaling es particularmente una de mis favoritas, asi que no se que tan objetiva estoy siendo al darles esta reseña de su memoria corta Please Like Me (But Keep Away).

Esta mujer me entiende. No es un relato que toque temas profundos, por el contrario es un vistazo rápido en la vida de una mujer introvertida con ansiedad social que por su profesión debe desenvolverse en una industria que favorece la extroversión.
Toca temas como lo difícil que es entablar amistades en la adultez, la ansiedad derivada de tener que planear eventos sociales (100% real sis, siento exactamente lo mismo) y los planes de escape que ha logrado ejecutar exitosamente para escaparse de una fiesta.

Contrario a lo que la gente podría creer, las personas que podemos relacionarnos a esta clase de relatos a menudo sentimos los efectos negativos de la soledad; el ser introvertido no te hace inmune al deseo de querer tener un grupo grande de amigos. Su manera de enfatizar como las amistades contadas pero duraderas son las que vale la pena tener es muy dulce, genuinamente conecte con ella en mas de una ocasión mientras narraba sus anécdotas en este audiolibro de 29 min.

Tierno y honesto, este es un tesorito que agradezco tanto haberme topado.

It’s a rant of people who can’t socialize

Blah blah blah this whole thing is just a rant of a lady who can’t or don’t like to socialize, hate talking to people because she’s too insecure of her being different, and not even trying to change because she thinks it’s other people’s problem and never hers. She still want to be loved by others without putting any effort, but not too much. Demanding much?! Not to mention the baby voice that’s utterly obnoxious that I can’t stand to listen even with 2x speed.

Honest and Funny

I love these shorts. I’m from L.A. and had a short career working for the studios. She is spot on.

Insufferable voice takes away from the story

I would have enjoyed this more if it wasn't for this horrendous baby-like voice so many American women are using nowadays.

eh

MK can write and read her own words with the best of them. This was a throwaway effort at best. Came across as a couple of chapters from previous work that hadn’t made the cut.

Loved it.

Was entertained while relating to the story at the same time. She is protrude right me as someone I would love to be friends with.
