Sometimes You Just Have to Put on Lip Gloss and Pretend to Be Psyched
In her book "Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?", Mindy Kaling discusses the challenges of social anxiety and the pressures of fitting in. She uses humor to navigate her experiences in the entertainment industry and the awkwardness of social interactions. One notable quote emphasizes the need to project confidence, even when feeling uncertain or out of place. Putting on lip gloss becomes a metaphor for putting on a brave face and pretending to be enthusiastic.

Kaling’s writing resonates with many as she reflects on the importance of confidence, self-presentation, and embracing the quirks of life, appealing to anyone who has ever felt excluded or anxious in social situations.
