FOMO

I'm gonna touch on a phenomenon that happens in larger groups of friends. It's called FOMO, fear of missing out. I have it and many of my friends experience it to a degree. It's the fear that if you choose to do something different than others that you will be missing out on what they do. The problem is that while you are off and suppose to be enjoying yourself, you are constantly thinking about what might be happening elsewhere. For example if I chose to go to a house party rather than meet my friends out at a bar, I get the feeling that my friends are having the time of their lives at said "bar," and this makes it hard to enjoy my house party.

FOMO is pretty stupid and really boils down to self confidence and honestly feeling like you are more important than you really are.

I guess I'm arrogant and that sucks. But it's ok because I am everywhere....always. And recently the things I miss out on is by choice. -ts
