Fopo and the Fear of Being Judged by Others

Fopo, or the fear of being judged by others, is a phenomenon that affects our behavior in various social situations. Whether it's pretending to be busy on our phones, laughing at jokes we don't find funny, or pretending to know about a song or movie, Fopo drives us to conform to societal expectations. It stems from our deep-rooted need to be accepted and fear of being rejected by our social group. Fopo can restrict our authenticity and hinder personal growth. Recognizing and overcoming Fopo is crucial to living a more genuine and fulfilling life.
