FOMO, or Fear Of Missing Out, is a pervasive feeling of anxiety and unease that arises from the fear of not being included in or experiencing something exciting or desirable. It is often fueled by social media and the constant stream of curated content that can make one feel like they are missing out on the best moments of life. FOMO can lead to impulsive decision-making, comparison to others, and a constant need to be connected and in the know. It is a modern phenomenon that can affect anyone, causing them to constantly seek validation and validation from others, and ultimately hindering their ability to fully enjoy the present moment.
