What does FOMO mean to you? - Guidance and Advice for Those Who Relate


Have you ever really wanted to do something fun like what your friends are always doing. You want to go out, be social, and just have a great time! But when it is the day of that specific fun social activity you shy out? Well here's my take on it...

I believe that doing something engaging socially and mentally is very important. Yes, you would rather stay in bed because it's your comfort area, but it's not good for it to be that for a long period. Going out with friends and making memories will be very beneficial for how you view life and or how you feel mentally. But just know that you don't need friends to make memories. When it comes to feeling free mentally and socially YOU come first. You can go on dates with yourself. Pick yourself up off that bed and be your own friend primarily. But if making friends is what you want to do this still applies. 

Go out to the places that you enjoy then you will find like-minded people who also share your interest. Then strike up a conversation! But to be honest the convo might strike up by itself. Being near people who also like what you like will automatically make it ten times more manageable for you to relate to and speak to them. 

Also, being in the vicinity of people such as in a mall, park, or restaurant helps with your brain chemistry. Go people-watching! In my days of doing that, I have realized that It helps with your focus and awareness. It helps also by showing proof that no one cares about what you're doing in public. Many people are just worrying about themselves and how they look and people-watching will prove it. 

To go back to what I was saying about FOMO. You need to abolish it from your life. Instead of fearing that you're missing out, try to make plans with people close to you but go somewhere you've always wanted to and successfully abolish the stated fear. 

But something that needs more attention is the reason for your FOMO. Fear of missing out doesn't just happen, there is always a reason for everything. Is it possible you feel a bit insecure in public? If yes, hang out with people who make you feel your best. Especially if it is one of your acquaintances who continuously makes you feel down. Do not...DO NOT let someone talk down to you and make you not feel uncomfortable in your beautiful or handsome body. It is okay to drop people in your life who do so. Then start living the life you have always dreamed of! FOMO should be resolved with just a phone call to anyone who makes you feel like you, and then making plans. Or make plans with yourself as said previously.
