Fear or missing out.
You probably clicked into this article a) because you can relate, and b) because you feel like you'd be missing out by not reading it.
It's intense for some, unbearable for others and ultimately leads to much study procrastination, an inability to save a cent and a lack of sleep.
Here's 8 things you'll probably relate to if you if you're a sufferer.
1.You can't miss out on a party, even the thought of such a thing can fill you with anxiety.

2. The thought of seeing your friends having fun without you is too much. Just too much.

7. Okay, be honest, this happens a lot too.
I don't have FOMO, I have, "Oh no." That's where you go to a party or event and realize it's terrible and remember why you always stay in.

8. There's hope in the world for all of us. We can hope that one day it will end.

My fear of FOMO has come & passed. No desire to be out drinking or thottin' & boppin' around. So content being in bed.
