the fear of missing out.

I know this is a bit of a long one, but I promise it's worth sitting through.
Do you have a fear of missing out? Whether it's games with friends, events, conversations or anything else in the world. Listen to this video & understand you are not alone. Find new friend groups, introduce yourself to activities for one and remind yourself to keep looking ahead rather than looking around.

this was the exact reason why i lost my friends i had a fear of missing out, so when they went out i started to say some stuff i shouldnt have said

[@LammiSalami]

I never really thought of that
I didnt even know what fomo was but i realise that ive had this for a long time... thanks dude

FOMO is in itself quite a dumb thing to be afraid of, you will always be missing out on something. That's just part of being a human, you can't be everywhere at once, there's always gonna be things you wanted to do but can't for various reasons. Even being some kind of deity or using time travel wouldn't really make it possible, so the best thing you can do is just accept that there will be things you miss out on.
Funny enough, being fearful over missing out on things can make you miss out on more things cause it can give you decision paralysis.
Edit: when I was growing up, I read a really interesting article about how much "content" was created in the world. Someone made a rough estimate on how much time it would take if you wanted to consume all the content that was made in the world for a single day (this was before youtube, so books, movies, magazines, newspapers). If I remember correctly, it would take roughly 6-7 months even if you spent 10 hours every day just consuming content. Imagine how much worse it is now with social media and VOD's, would take quite a few years now to go through all the stuff made in a single day.
The point is that you will always miss out on something, so it's better to just stop worrying/being fearful and just enjoy life.

absolutely true to your point about decision paralysis. People think more about the past than the present & they get stuck looking back at what happened rather than what else could happen in the future, so they miss out again.
