Summary of Busy Philipps's This Will Only Hurt a Little

By IRB Media

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

#1 I have many defining stories, but the one that sums up who I am and why I am the way I am is that I have always seen myself as a Debbie Downer. I am a performer, and I live to make sure everyone is happy and having a good time.

#2 My mother’s story is that I was a very stubborn child, and that my parents could never control me. I was born in Oak Park, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. My mother grew up in Oak Park, and her parents met there.

#3 My mom always said I was like the toddler in the story, wandering around by myself in a diaper. I aced out in my nudes. I was always getting into stuff and never stopping to think about the consequences.

#4 I’ve always felt different than my family members. I’ve always looked different, with blond hair and blue eyes, compared to my dark-haired parents and sister. I’ve always felt left out.

#1

It is not easy being a woman in the business world. There will always be jokes about your body, and there will always be men who steal your ideas and pass them off as their own.

#2

I had done Snapchat a little, because my friend Kelly Oxford was into it. Instagram stories, on the other hand, seemed kind of lame to me. I don’t get it. Why would they do this if Snapchat exists. Is anyone even going to watch this shit.

#3

I had the time to be myself and entertain people on Instagram stories. I had always liked telling stories, and there were things that happened to me that only happened to me. I was done trying to put on a face and be something that I thought someone else wanted me to be.
