Understanding FOMO and Its Impact

The fear of missing out (FOMO) is a powerful emotion that can lead individuals to make unhealthy choices and engage in activities that do not align with their true values. It can create a sense of urgency to participate in social situations, often pushing people towards overindulgence in drinking, partying, or other forms of immediate gratification. The speaker shares a personal experience during the Songkran Festival, where the temptation to join friends in nightlife contrasted with the realization that such indulgence would ultimately lead to negative feelings and regret. This highlights the importance of recognizing FOMO as a motivator for decisions that may undermine long-term fulfillment and personal integrity rather than provide true happiness.
