How to deal with FOMO...

Deal With The FEAR OF MISSING OUT.

The "fear of missing out". It ain't a big deal for all of us to scroll through our social media feed and see some glamorous event taking place somewhere and feeling anxious about the fact that you can't be on that particular place. We gotta admit that we all feel jealous at some point of our life no matter how much we don't agree to admit or deny others, we know ourselves pretty well don't we?!...

LETS DIVE INTO DETAILS.

 Tackle the cause.

There are times when people don't even realize they are going through fomo and get worse or better as time passes. When we feel ignored by our community (friends, family, etc) that's when we have higher chances of having fomo. Sure it might not be as serious as it sounds but deep down it feels sad and depressing to be outcasted. 
A lot of this is to be blamed on social media as it connects the world like never before and we follow hundreds and thousands of people and vice versa. We often feel a sense of unhappiness and lack when we see others enjoying that does not include us in any way.
While there is social media in the limelight, we ignore our daily life problems that also feed this anxiety. Yes the time when you didn't get an invitation to that house party, your school trip doesn't include your name when all your friends are packing their bags already. All these little things lead to the big picture that's in front of us today.


The way out.

The best way out would be to see a doctor and ask for professional help. But if you are confident that you can overcome this by yourself, it might prove to be the best decision you'll ever make, because that's when you really become strong inside out. 
  

Figure out the kind of toxic environment you're in. Sometimes we don't realize that the friend circle we're in can be a major cause. Because having a handful who cherish you as there friend is way better than a huge group of friends who don't care for you.

Enjoying your own company. While we chase the crowd to get validation that we think will make us happy we tend to forget that we are ignoring the bestest friend we can ever get, ourselves. Because only you know yourself better than anyone else, the pain, the scars, the beautiful moments, you've all shared them with yourself then who could you expect to come for the rescue.

Talking helps. There must be someone in your life who got your back. Talk your heart out to them without hesitating and that'll make you feel at ease. Because sometimes it's okay to be vulnerable,  and that in no way proves that  you are weak .

Take your time. Time is a great healer so you may take a leave from all your social media and all that toxicity around you and go on a soothing vacation to get refreshed.
