Are there any benefits of FOMO?

How are things going?

What has this bizarre experience been like for you so far?

Alexis Berger, senior lifestyle editor at Well+Good:I miss YOU!

And yknow, I feel super lucky for the most part.

I know you tend to like being out in world and doing things.

Two people’s legs touch under a table as they work on their laptops.

How has this adjustment been for you?

ZW:Croissants!!!

What I would give.

Books on grief are seen floating against a backdrop of clouds.

AB:Is it weird that there arent even events to speak of right now?

And it removed a lot of the social pressure that Im used to experiencing.

Or, I guess, missing the opportunity to feel FOMO.

AB:Four hours of sleep?!

ZOE!!!!

In a weird way, I think you… needed this?

Michelle Monaghan, Carrie Coon, and Leslie Bibb in The White Lotus, symbolizing toxic friendships.

Does life feel different when youre rested?

ZW:Im so much nicer.

And Im nervous that the re-emergence of FOMO is going to put me right back into my old ways.

Do you think this will change your relationship to FOMO in the long haul?

I think I need FOMO in my life to force me to do much of anything.

At least, I hope, thatll be a lasting change.

AB:OMG, brilliant.

I hope Im able to even try sooner than later.

I think thats it!

Cant wait to do things with you soon.

But only things we both want to do.

I love that the overlap in our rules involves bad TV.

Do you think watching Bravo together might be like meeting in the middle on the FOMO-JOMO continuum?

Ill bring the croissants.

AB:Its a date!
