Deep dives

Understanding FOMO and FOMO

FOMO, or fear of missing out, is the anxiety and fear that there may be something better happening than what we're currently doing. It also involves the fear of being excluded from positive experiences. FOMO leads to stress and the desire to do everything, which is impossible. On the other hand, FOMO, or fear of a better option, is the fear of choosing something that is not the absolute best. It involves constantly seeking perfection and delaying decisions in hopes of finding the perfect choice. However, this can lead to decision paralysis and missed opportunities.
