The Effects of FOMO on Mental Health

The term FOMO became popular in 2004. It was at the time of the rise of social media platforms like Facebook. A lot of people that suffer from FOMO go to events that they don't even want to be at because they don't want to feel FOMO, which is wild if you really, really think about it. And another thing that makes it worse is not actively creating purposeful moments for yourself and waiting for these moments to occur via invitation or through social media.
