Mindy Kaling highlights the challenges of cultivating and maintaining relationships in her book "Why Not Me?". She reflects on the reality that while gaining people's affection can be tough, sustaining that fondness is even more difficult. This resonates with anyone who has experienced the pressures of social interactions and the need to consistently engage others positively.

Kaling humorously suggests that keeping people’s admiration may require continuous effort, likening it to bringing in Skittles every day. This metaphor underscores the idea that relationships demand regular nourishment and effort to thrive, emphasizing how important it is to invest in our connections with others.
