The article discusses the dilemma adults face when deciding between social engagements and staying in, emphasizing a cost-benefit analysis to guide their choice. It highlights the role of FOMO (fear of missing out) in motivating people to accept invitations, even when they might prefer the comfort of home. Ultimately, the author suggests that finding balance is key, and that nurturing friendships often requires intentional effort and playful interactions reminiscent of childhood.
Finding the answer is often a matter of conducting a cost-benefit analysis: How far is the restaurant? How well do I know these people? And, most important: Will I regret not going?
FOMO, 'fear of missing out,' can serve as a powerful engine for social engagements. Hearing the stories from that one night you stayed in can incentivize you to take a chance on the next invite.
The dance never ends-it's just a matter of figuring out what's worth making time for.
Just catching up can feel stale. Playing and wasting time together like kids do is how you make memories.
