The term "FOMO," or the Fear of Missing Out, has become a common part of modern vocabulary, especially among teenagers. It describes a specific kind of social anxiety that arises when you see others having experiences you are not a part of. This feeling is strongly linked to our use of social media, where friends constantly post photos from exciting events like a K-Pop concert or a gathering at a trendy new café.

The problem begins with how social media works. Platforms like Instagram and TikTok encourage users to share only their best moments, creating a curated gallery of highlights. When we scroll through these seemingly perfect lives, we naturally compare them to our own. This constant comparison can make our ordinary, everyday reality feel boring or inadequate, leading to feelings of sadness and dissatisfaction with what we have.

This anxiety is more than just a fleeting feeling. For many young people in Vietnam, as discussed on forums like Spiderum, it can lead to significant stress and a compulsion to check their phones constantly. The fear of being left out of a conversation or an inside joke drives this behavior. This cycle of checking and comparing can negatively impact concentration in school and even disrupt sleep patterns.

So, what can be done? Recognizing FOMO is the crucial first step. It is important to remember that online profiles are not the full story of someone’s life. Managing this feeling involves conscious effort, such as taking breaks from social media or "digital detoxes." Focusing on your own real-life activities and connections is the most effective way to combat FOMO and appreciate your own journey.
