Fear of Missing Out, or FOMO, is a new mental health syndrome plaguing a growing number of people. Those afflicted with FOMO fear that they are missing out on what other people are doing; specifically, they fear that others are having exciting experiences that they’re not. FOMO is especially strong for those who are addicted to social media because they’re constantly aware of what others are doing. In most cases, people with FOMO respond by either overcommitting and failing to fulfill many of their commitments or choosing to avoid agreements and commitments as much as possible. In this episode of Figure Out Your Life Podcast, I discuss the concept of FOMO and the dangers of being afflicted with this mental health condition, and I share 6 ways to overcome Fear of Missing Out.
