Is the fear of missing out a healthy part of making the most out of life, or an unhealthy path towards social and personal anxiety?

Is the fear of missing out a healthy part of making the most out of life, or an unhealthy path towards social and personal anxiety?

In this week’s episode, Abel and Aaron discuss the idea of FOMO. They reflect on their earliest memorable moments experiencing the fear of missing out and attempt to uncover whether it’s either a healthy or unhealthy part of life. They also look at this idea through the larger lens of life progression rather than just social gatherings and interactions.

Amongst other things, they discuss weddings and the “I’m down” mentality to living life.
