I am 22 and keep feeling FOMO most of the time especially when I see my followers on social media like Instagram enjoying their life hanging out with others whereas I am lonely and not enjoying my youth.
Sadly what you see on social media is merely a construct of happiness, carefully orchestrated photos of events that are nothing like the photo might suggest. Life is messy, it can be boring, it can be hard, and of course there are moments of enjoyment, happiness. But no one likes to post the reality of their lives, afterall who would heart a normal day of nothing. I probably would but I am not like everyone else.
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.
Once in a while. But I get to go have fun some times.
