To live, in my opinion, is to fill your life with: events, travel, plans, meetings with people, hobbies. It is difficult to fill your life when a person does not know what he likes, what he would like to do, what is “to his heart.” Then there is an option not to live your own life, but to become an observer of the lives of others, but with a side syndrome. FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) syndrome arises due to the constant feeling that other people have a more interesting, fun or successful life than you, and that you may be missing something important or unique. This fear is often reinforced by the constant presence of information on social networks, where people demonstrate their achievements, travel, meetings with friends and other events. The mechanism for the appearance of FOMO syndrome is associated with several factors: 1. Social Media: Consuming content on social media creates the illusion of a perfect life in others, which can cause feelings of inadequacy in the comparison self.2. Fear of missing out: The fear of missing out on something important or unique makes people constantly watch for events, even if it does not bring them real satisfaction.3. Comparison: Comparing your life to other people's lives can lead to feelings of dissatisfaction and stress. FOMO syndrome has become more common nowadays due to widespread access to information and social media, which constantly reminds us of what is going on in other people's lives. This can lead to anxiety, dissatisfaction, and even poor mental well-being. To combat FOMO, it's important to be aware of your feelings, limit your time spent on social media, and focus on your goals and achievements rather than what other people are going through. Let's take a closer look at ways to cope with FOMO syndrome: 1. Determine your priorities: Try to understand what is truly important to you and what brings you real satisfaction. And definitely according to your capabilities. For example, a walk about your hometown, a mini trip to a neighboring one, meeting with friends over a cup of coffee, going to the cinema with your children. What matters is not where you are, but what brings you true pleasure.2. Limit your time on social media: Try to reduce the time you spend on social media to avoid constant comparison with others and the fear of missing out. I recommend infodetox according to the principle “if I don’t see it, it doesn’t hurt me.” You will feel how much time you spend not on yourself, but on other people also with a feeling of “worthlessness.”3. Remember what you’ve been wanting to do for a long time and still haven’t gotten around to it. This could be a general cleaning of the pantry, or reading a long-bought book, or maybe old wallpaper will remind you of a new stage in life.4. Communicate with loved ones: Discuss your feelings with friends or loved ones. Sometimes just talking about your concerns can help you feel better. This is not gossip or gossip on the pages of friends and acquaintances on social networks, but sharing with loved ones the experiences and feelings that happen to you. Such moments are more valuable than a vacation in Monaco. I will remind myself, first of all, that every person has the right to fill his life with what is really important to him. And there is life in this. This is how we become the authors of our own history, rather than constant observers of the lives of others..
