I Really Didn’t Think This Through Audiobook Summary

Popular Instagram artist Beth Evans (197k followers) tackles a range of issues–from whimsical musings to deeply personal struggles–in this imaginative anti-guide to being your own person.

Welcome To Adulthood! Hey, wait–where are you going…?

Did you ever wish your best friend–the person you would trust with your innermost secrets, the person whose wisdom and comfort you seek in times of stress or self-doubt–could draw? Popular Instagram illustrator, Beth Evans, has made a name for herself writing comics and sharing her personal experiences on life as she enters and navigates adulthood. Her ability to find humor in common situations around love, social anxieties, depression and work has created a cult-like following from her 217k Instagram fans.

Like Mindy Kaling meets Hyperbole and a Half, I Really Didn’t Think This Through gets at the heart of what makes life both so challenging and so joyful–figuring out how to be a person in the world. This book is a compendium of Beth’s collected wisdom and stories, interwoven with her tremendously popular and loveable illustrations. The book is a wonderful mix of fun (playful meditations on the band Rush and international pen-pals) and thoughtful (Beth delves into her personal history with obsessive compulsive disorder and depression while commiserating on topics like dating and credit card shame) all with a simple candor that anyone from a teen to their grandparent can relate to. Through all of her experiences, Beth manages to extract valuable lessons, and the book is replete with friendly advice about caring for yourself, getting help no matter what your problems are, and embracing what makes you happy. Beth is a compelling storyteller, her drawings picking up where her words leave off, creating an approachable and immersive experience for the reader. Beth’s work feels like a hug from your best friend. And like a best friend, she’s here to say “You got this!”

Ohmy this book speaks louder about my confusion in adulting t__tReally well described about adulting, mental disorder (OCD), anxiety, with calming words. The illustration is also dope!! very well spend time if you are having reading slump or looking for light reading.Definitely would re-read this again and again aaaaa

Thanks to William Morrow for the ARC!In the same vein of Alida Nugent, a fellow young writer loving/hating her 20’s, illustrator Beth Evans presents a brief memoir of struggles she had growing up with bullies and feeling like she didn’t fit in and evolving into an anxiety-ridden semi-adult trying not to let her up and down mental health overturn her life. Alongside illustrations which lay out plans for success as small as making that doctor appointment or getting dressed or asking for help, this quick read is a friend of anyone wondering if they’ll truly be accepted as an adult or get lost in stalking the success of former friends on the internet. Serious subjects made fun & accessible, I certainly recommend picking this up in May.

I love Beth Evans and really enjoyed reading this. At points, it really felt like she got me and understood exactly what it’s like to be me. A great read! I definitely recommend to anyone who suffers from anxiety or any other mental illness.

Who would have thought a book with 192 pages can leave such an remarkable impact for me. I've read this book without a huge expectation and with an empty mind, so the moment I started the first pages I knew it, this book would break me apart. It tackles essential areas like anxiety, insecurity, OCD, and a lot more. It's probably the first time to see a statement from a real person suffering from OCD and it's whole different from the fictional books I've read in the past. This book open my mind and left me emotional invested. Good thing about this book is that it was not messily structured and it has cute highly relatable illustrations that would make the readers captured all the time. In conclusion, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS!

5 stars.I found this completely by accident and it's adorable. I really like this. The title is misleading though. I didn't know I was about to be hit right in the feels with all this talk about anxiety, depression, ocd, and other things which are that relatable. It was a beautiful assortment of essays coupled with cute illustrations. (There are also cute checklists.) I also love that this isn't toxic positivity. It's hopeful and inspiring but it still keeps it real. Check this out. It'd worth at least some of your time.

"Self-love is all over the place right now, as a positive movement to help people accept themselves. But for a lot of us, it can be a real challenge.""Self-love is going to be impossible some days and can seem like the most daunting challenge ever. After all, we allow ourselves to get frustrated and annoyed with others, so it’s only natural to feel that way about ourselves sometimes. We are with ourselves 24/7, and that’s a lot of freaking time to spend with someone.""Anxiety is a powerful thing, and when it decides to strike, it can take many different, often demoralizing forms. Suddenly the only thing you can focus on is the absolute, fundamental sense of dread and upset storming inside you.""Anxiety is hard enough to deal with on your own and even harder to want to tackle when people make fun of you. Finding balance is truly a daily struggle. Sometimes keeping your head up seems impossible, especially when it’s easier to just give in to fear, even though you know it’s not good for you.""Some people who aren’t depressed or upset feel that if you just strive for it enough, you can think yourself to happiness. Sadly, things don’t work this way, and by the time you’ve heard a “just be positive” speech for the hundredth time, you’re ready to whack that person with a yoga mat or shove some kale in their mouth to get them to shut up.""Oftentimes through songs, books, and movies, we are reminded that our feelings are universal and that we’re not alone in this life. Everyone has their own thing that speaks down to the depths of their soul, soothes them, and picks up their broken pieces on bad days.""While it’s good to think about other people, in a situation where you are being repeatedly hurt, it’s okay to want to just focus on yourself and your feelings. Forgiveness can come when you’re ready, if it ever comes at all. That’s up to no one but you.""Moments of trouble may come and cloud your life, but you will always manage to shine through, even if it’s the most difficult thing in the world. People can see the good in you, even if you can’t always see it for yourself."

Mungkin yang dialami penulis emang ngga persis dengan yg kualami, tapi banyak hal disini terasa relate denganku. Tentang bagaimana menjadi dewasa, tentang teman online yg terasa sangat dekat, dan sebagainya. Karena relate tadi, jadi terasa menyenangkan saat membaca buku ini.

This book was very enjoyable for hearing someone else's experience with mental health. I just wished the comics were placed in a way that didn't cut into sentences at times making me skip them to finish the sentence or paragraph and then go back to read the comic and then back again to the writing. I wish there was a 4.5 stars to give since this visual set up was the only thing that I would want changed.

Las personas que sufren de ansiedad siempre serán vistos como bichos raros, por más que la sociedad se empeñe en “normalizarlo”. Este pequeño diario nos involucra en lo más profundo de los problemas de ansiedad, lo humaniza y nos hace entender el calvario que se vive.
