While getting over FOSO is all about shifting your mindset and rejecting the idea that a breakup is a personal failure, Baker also suggests that, depending on how deep-set an issue is, you may not even have to throw in the towel at all.

“We tend to expect a lot of our relationships, which can be a good thing, but often that comes with a lot of contradictions,” she says. “We want someone to be a rock, something reliable and stable, but at the same time be a source of excitement, spontaneity and fun.” For Baker, there’s a lot of value in having a growth mindset when it comes to romance. “Couples often underestimate just how much can be worked on, from different styles of communication, approaches to life and ways in which you navigate emotional experiences. They’re quick to label these patterns as ‘incompatibilities’, but they can actually be undone if both parties are willing to make the effort.”

Is FOSO – the fear of starting over – keeping you in a bad relationship?
