FOMO
'FOMO', although a very gen-z term ,is somewhere a deep rooted fear of many. As, no matter what, grass always seems to be greener on the other side.
All these apps such as instagram, snapchat, netflix etc are thriving because they instill fomo in individuals.
The world has too much to offer and one wants to grab it all.
For me, it's mainly driven by the constant need for validation from others and fitting into the various social constructs of this stupid world.
Fomo can also act as a motivating factor only until it starts playing with your mental peace.
As an individual, i too am trying to reduce my FOMO by-
- limiting my time on social media
- figuring out things i genuinely like
As Naina from YJHD rightly said," Jitna bhi try karo bunny, life mein kuch na kuch to chootega hi, to jahan hain, wahin ka maza lete hain."
fuck you fomo.
