Please Like Me (But Keep Away)

by Mindy Kaling

I’m always complimenting someone’s phone case or something in order to get them to like me. “Wow, that’s such an unusual phone case. I bet it really protects your phone.”

I’m so worried I will mortally offend someone with the mere suggestion that I think our conversation has come to its natural conclusion.

That’s when I realized something about myself: I would rather be lonely than bored.

I crave company but don’t like most people.
