Fomo is a slang term that stands for “fear of missing out.” It refers to the feeling of anxiety or unease that arises when one believes they are missing out on a social event, experience, or opportunity. Fomo is commonly associated with the fear of not being included or being left out of an exciting or significant event. It has become especially prevalent in the age of social media, where individuals constantly see others’ experiences and worry about not being part of them.
Example 1: I didn’t go to the party last night, and now I have a serious case of Fomo. Everyone keeps posting pictures and talking about how amazing it was, and I feel like I missed out on something unforgettable.
Example 2: My friends are all going on a road trip next week, and I can’t join them due to work commitments. The thought of them exploring new places and creating memories without me is giving me major Fomo, and I wish I could be there with them.
