FOMO: Our Relationship with Social Media

by

FOMO, or fear of missing out, is the anxiety we experience when we feel there’s something exciting happening elsewhere… and we’re not a part of it. It’s been around for awhile but these days, it’s usually triggered by social media.

This leads to us second-guessing our decisions and feeling generally insecure. It can even get to the point where there’s a looming sense of FOMO even when we’re not online.
