Lauren Groff Quotes

I'm not a real social person - I'm shy - and a lot of the business is just social.

I've never been socially outgoing, but I suspect I've gotten more and more ambivalent about making new friends. I'm irritated by how-do-you-do chit-chat, but that's how new relationships usually begin.

I want to do good, and I want people to be happy, and sometimes when you're a people pleaser, you spread yourself too thin.
