      @@douglasbullet6456 The fear of missing out (FOMO) is an emotional response to the belief that other people are living better, more satisfying lives or that important opportunities are being missed. FOMO often leads to feelings of unease, dissatisfaction, depression and stress.

    I use to have FOMO a few years ago until I realize that those same things I thought I was missing out on will always be there. I can always go back to concerts, hanging out with friends, going to a festival, etc so no need to feel I am missing out. I enjoy missing out on things now because I get to spend time with God and crafting myself into what he sees me to be. It was hard but I am blessed to be at this stage now

    I’m a 17 yr old girl and I deeply relate to this a lot. I’ve always had fomo and felt like I was never apart of the things I wanted to be apart of. Sometimes I did do things I was against just because I wanted to fit in and have friends for once. A lot of my intentions were innocent (wanting friends for example) but became foiled trying to so desperately be someone I wasn’t. This past year I’ve faced this again since I broke my ankle last June and it was a big blow to me. I spent the majority of my summer and school year indoors and recovering. There were some benefits to it, but I felt so left out and discouraged. I kept wondering what I did wrong to make this happen and I asked God so many times “why me?” I recently got sick and missed out on an event I was looking forward too and told God how sad it made me because once again I had to stay home. This video came right on time because for awhile I’ve been trying to change my perspective on these kinds of situations to see the good in them. I’ve been trying to change my mindset to not always see things as “missing out.” Whenever I don’t understand things in my life I always remember when Jesus says, “You don't understand now what I am doing, but you will understand later.” Even if God doesn’t always tell me why things happen I still trust that it was all for a purpose and that it’s working something out for my good ❤

    My generation struggled with FOMO. And as a youth minister, I've noticed that the next generation doesn't struggle with FOMO but rather, FOGO (the fear of going out). Thanks for the self reflection and the insight. God bless.

      As a Gen Z with Gen Alpha siblings, I can identify with both generations. You’re absolutely right our struggles are different and I appreciate you acknowledging that. However, it’s not a matter of FOMO or FOGO one more than the other, but we suffer with both A LOT. FOMO has only grown so much from social media and the internet(which we are undoubtedly exposed to no matter how good our parents protected us). And Covid is the huge reason for FOGO. Many lost their social skills they DID have and it stunted our development of them tremendously. It’s a lot.

    FOMO to travel the world sometimes gets to me but I remind myself, I can be a tourist in my own city and explore new things. I can explore 50 other states before I’m itching for a stamp on my passport. 😅

    Israel really blocked their blessing because of FOMO. If we don't know who we are in Christ, then we'll chase things that aren't for us and miss things that are. But I don't think we can say Jesus had FOMO in the way that we do. Our FOMO comes from comparison to others. Jesus "feared" the weight of bearing our sin (praise God he did)!

    This is awesome. But I will say that a fear of missing out on what God has for us and the assignment of our life is healthy. Like you should be healthily motivated to take opportunities that please God and be afraid to miss them cause you know you may not have that opportunity again. We don't want to be unconcerned and become passive and not strive for experiences and opportunities.
