The fear of missing out starts in highschool because everytime you were off for a day or out for a while youve missed 3 fights, half the faculty having a mental breakdown and a fire in the science lab
That is actually true, the ONE time I was absent at school was the day one of my classmate found a praying mantis in the school yard (praying mantis are very rare to find).
Yeah it sucks, I was sick one day for school and they had a band play outside on the field .. Everyone kept talking about it and hyping it up after and I died inside
Lower your expectation even more, death isn't the end, your expectation is that you will die slowly and painfully as you watch your family and friends also die slowly and painfully.
Well same, I had more fun at LAN-Parties that in other Parties, since its all about getting drunk and listening to shitty music, and meeting (mostly) annoying people there...
@@hotcoldman777 assert dominance and be the annoying drunk one. You get to have the time of your life and before you realise how much you’ve embarrassed yourself and ruined your reputation the hangover will kick in and you’ll have forgotten about all of last night. Works a charm for me every time
@@cheekyweebugger3621 I’m 3months late but somewhat agree expect for me I talk to like two people outside of my immediate friend group and the next day the hang anxiety kicks in and i’m like “OMG I WAS SO EMBARRASSING LAST NIGHT” but in reality I had a completely normal convo with them.
@@thatman6916 Hey, how are you? I'm sincerely hoping that you gave life a chance to prove you wrong at some point in those last two years! It can look super grim sometimes, or even most of the time, but in this situation we need to remember that there's always a light at the end of the tunnel. Even if sometimes, it's just before going inside another tunnel right away! Also, if your life is always leading you inside tunnels, try stopping at some point, and see if there's not another set of tracks nearby! Cheers pal,
why even think about doing or dont doing? youll regret that also. You will also regret regretting thinking about doing or not doing, and you will also regret wasting time thinking about what you should do or not do.. and youll also regret not wasting time doing it.
Nothing is more depressing then playing games on your PC alone and then checking your friend snap story and seeing that they’re all together hanging out
She looks just as good as when she was on the Tudors. She is the kind of beauty I have to look away from because it just hurts too much to stare at the sun before the solar eclipse is complete. She's a golden diamond, is what I'm saying.
The thing with FOMO is it literally hits you directly in your anxiety centre and hits it very hard. This is most worst when you're an anxious and insecure person. My own experience I learned from was that I was very insecure about my friendships and was always doubting if people really liked me. My brain would find any little reason to think people don't like me (Not being invited to go get food or drinks, not being invited to play a game with your friends or them going into a different voice chat) and use all those small reasons to slam on my anxiety centre and until I basically had a panic attack if my friends were all going to meet up without me. This took A LONG time to deal with and the most important part was just being more confident in your friendships and yourself as a person that you're worth of having those friends. When I understood that I not only was less anxious and had less FOMO. I had the strength and confidence leave toxic friendships I had with people.
Too bad that helps nothing if they actually hate you. Sure statistically unlikely but look where I am. Let me tell you, whatever physical injury I ever had does not get anywhere close to getting yourself hyped up and think positively then have some of those key facts develop in either the worst case scenario or finding you were a covert optimist and somehow things could get even worse (e.g. "I don't think they see me as a friend" vs "they just used you and tell it to your face"). Make no mistake that's powerful advice but leaves you with absolutely no defense if your "unfounded" fears do come true
@@Mordecroxthats so true, it happened to me also it really damages your ability to even want to be atound people let alone open up and be friends, but what I've learn is that you have to have your own thing going on your own adventures if we manage to make this as a central theme of our lives than people can come and go and it doesn't concern us that much
Same here. Very freeing though. It’s not like I don’t enjoy that stuff anymore, I do. But unlike 18 yo me I don’t constantly chase it and feel like a loser when I have nothing to do. I stay productive until I get a chance to have fun and then I’ll have more fun than younger me anyway bc I don’t give a shit if I’m the coolest guy there TLDR; being desperate and overthinking makes you miserable and won’t get you anywhere
What I learned from this is that everything sounds cooler than it is, and in your imagination everything you miss out is so amazing but if you don't miss something out you realize how blatant it is.
dude- you could get paid to watch over people and make sure everything is normal. you could be a chaos regulator that presents crazy shit from happening. Any parent going out of town who wants to make sure their kids don't do anything crazy would instantly want you- "norma man" to just chill with them.
Candy doggo: That reply made me laugh so much... Thanks for sharing & thinking outside the box 😊 We always need more outside-box-thinkers, & that was excellent...
It could also be the same with nostalgia. I've heard a lot of my friends saying they wish they could back the 'good old times ''when they were 16, but was 16 actually a great time or is it just romantisized? Like, being a teenager is still very stressful with expectations, homework, and not being taken seriously. At least when your are an adult you don't have to ask for permission to do things and you can buy yourself your own things and don't have a curfew. There's good and bad thing everywhere, I guess its just perspective that determines your FOMO or regrets.
for most people in this context, being 16 is the same things as being on the beach. while being an adult is the same as being in the ocean. there is not an immediate safety to return back to, and you have to pay attention to your actions the entire time to not fall under. when you are a teen, this feeling isn’t there, plus that is a wild time in a lot of peoples lives. therefore i’d say there are many more contributing factors.
@@rooknado true, but then again some teenagers are forced to grow up fast too. Some teenagera dont have homes or families or safety net so they are forced to act like adults without being treated like one :/
IF you have money when you are an adult, often you simply don't have time to do things you like. You have much more stuff to worry about than just homework, all that makes everything so stressful that i don't even want to do the shit i used to love when i was a teenager.
@@rebeccasanchez3651 Well, in general younger age is clearly a period with much less responsibilities, that's not romanticizing. While teenagehood is stressful for sure, it's really nothing compared to what adulthood can and will be for most people. I mean, just being a parent, which means you are responsible for more than just yourself, is obviously more stressful than being a teenager, when you're not even entirely responsible of just yourself yet. You are also right, adults have far more actual freedom - but dont forget that it comes at a much, MUCH steeper cost. Food doesnt get in the fridge by itself anymore, nor the roof over your head, if you get what I mean.
Hello. So, I wore your "Is she into you?" T-shirt on my first date (finally), and found it very helpful as a reference guide throughout the experience. Although it was kind of awkward having to take my VR goggles off every time I needed to see where we were at in the experience. Results were inconclusive, but will keep you posted when the next update gets released.

I tell people that my extreme pessimism about literally everything that could ever happen is just a smart strategy of always expecting the worst, so that the worst thing that can happen to me is that I will be right. In reality I probably just need a psychologist.
@daytonharper6967 nope. I go to the gym all the time. Train martial arts a lot. It helps but it isn't a solution. I guess I wouldn't know how much it helps unless I stop, which I don't plan on doing.

I love this. Essentially, you shouldn’t feel bad about your benign past decisions despite what your head tells you, and you should be trying to find new exciting experiences, while understanding that it’s not always going to be mind blowing.

@@melmonsmith9306 having high expectations causes suffering. So if we lower our expectations we will be more pleased with life because we worry less and expect less.
@@davidgg8318 Ehhh, it's kind of a long shot from the definition of stoicism and only a small example from the many different appliances to the word. In that sense it's a little different to a baseball bat... For an example
Dad of the Year instead what i fear most is when i actually get invited to something 3 times out of the year. “did i use that same excuse last year? i don’t feel like texting back.”
I remember when my dad went out to a meeting and then grabbed groceries, then he met Will Smith after he was pushing through a crowd thinking that it was just very busy and many people were out doing their thing when it turned out to be paparazzi and a bunch of by standers who noticed he was there. He even got a picture with him and I was really upset that I didn't get to see him but then again that's probably the closest I could say to meeting an actual celebrity
I say find things you want to do yourself and do them. Example: I don't do superficial relationships, so I have few friends. I don't get invited to do many things, seeing as how those friends are all back in my hometown or away at a college like me. Therefore, since I like science, reading, and history, I decided to start visiting local museums. It's awesome, you should give it a try.

@@preacher3958 Yeah but if you define missing as not scoring, then the quote is kinda true. I like the quote because I never try to do anything and usually the worst that can happen is just a bit of awkwardness.
Thank you, you've helped since I've been going through what is probably a really petty crisis about not being able to go to this museum (which is already supremely far away) that has a limited time event ending in mid January. I definitely over hyped myself for something ultimately unrealistic. This is a genuine thank you, I already feel better.
A personal experience of mine, I never really had any friends since 13, and became a complete hermit since that age. A few years ago i made a wonderful group of online gaming friends. And having those wonderful moments with them made me feel alive in a way i completely forgot was even real, and they werent even IRL friends. So this made me question how much better IRL friends must be and gives me FOMO of all that ive been missing out on thanks to mental illnesses
trumpetperson11 I have friends who are twins. And they haven’t been talking to each other for a few years. And they make desperate birthdays. Tough choices.
I am low energy introvert and have a constant battle between fear of missing out and fear of burning out. Ever since I've graduated and started working full time I meet with friends once a month and it feels absolutely amazing. That way I don't feel tired of communication and every meeting feels like something new and refreshing
This actually happened to me when I was younger, one of my best friends and one of my cousins had their birthdays on the same day. I couldn't really choose so I just picked my cousin since he's my family. I later found out that my friend had one of the biggest parties I'd ever seen at that time, but he was such a good friend that he saved some cake for me :D
Here’s my version to avoid the fear of missing out, I hope it can help some of you: 1- set your resources. We all have 24hours in a day, a budget, and obligations. 2- set your priorities. What is really important for you (this has to be personal and not influenced by others)? Your family/friends might be most important, your career, etc. Basically, what do YOU really want. 3- set your needs. We all have to sleep (for me it’s 8 hours per day, like if your plan involves me sleeping less, I’m out. Yet it might be 4 hours for some people). 4- Cross reverence the information from step 1, 2, 3 and establish what you can realistically accomplish. For example, this party looks cool, but I don’t like going to clubs and I don’t appreciate this crowd of people. So I prefer using my money to go to the movies. 5- allow yourself time and budget for exceptional experiences. Like, I never tried a threesome with German exchange students, but maybe tonight is a good night to try. 6- be content with your decisions, be happy for the present, and hope the future will not suck. On that, I wish you all a happy life.
Threesomes are probably the most overrated thing in the history of human kind. Also a great example of fomo. So if you pass on that don't let porn and fomo fool you, you won't miss much. Playing video games instead that night would keep money in your pocket and will bring you more fun. Cheers.
Mrs Ice truck killer 😂 It’s good to know, then again... it’s hard to know how awkward a threesome with language/cultural barriers will be until you’ve realized how awkward it is while being super awkward while trying not to look awkward in the awkward threesome, awkwardly wishing you would be home with your cats.
@@beasthaven1571 I think it comes from an emptiness that is located within you. That you cannot fill in with girlfriends, parties, and whatever the fuck. I'm 32 now and even though I'm single im becoming much more comfortable within my own skin. It was a hard road though and I had to force it. Discipline is freedom remember that. You know what you have to do in life to be better but it's hard. It's the hardest road to take.
I have a similar theory (and experience). My dance group and I went to Slovakia (we are from the Czech Republic) to a dance party. Once our friend and a member of the group wanted to go, but he couldn't (he had another event). And so we went without him. The party in Slovakia was quite OK, but it was not the best party I have ever experienced. After a while, we all met again, even with a friend who couldn't go. When he asked us: "How was the party in Slovakia?", everyone started that it was a terrible pity that he could not go and it was the party of the year. I looked at them a little surprised and confused, because this party without this friend wasn't nearly as good as the parties before. Everybody was drunk and nobody was dancing... so... nothing special. This made me think that every party you weren't at would be thrown at you as "the best ever", and the participants would tell you that "it's a terrible pity you couldn't come, you lost the best party in all of humanity!", when that's not really true. To be precise, after this event with that friend who cant come, I began to notice that all the members of my dance group say that about all the parties. So you practically never miss anything.
This is a paradox in literally every decision we make. Do I take it easy and have fun because bad things are about to happen or do I work hard to prepare in case bad things happen? Do I train mind and body only to have my life end moments later? Do I work on improving myself and my environment in order to avoid "missing out" on feeling fulfilled with my time even if it means burning myself out? Every moment we choose something we are missing out on something else. Like yin and yang.
5:47 this is so true because when i stay home for a week, my friends say "I" missed out and they tell me who came, what they saw, do, etc but when i'm there none of that stuff happens
In my experience, the biggest limiting factors are your ability to see opportunities and your courage to take them. Dont make special occasions reliant on outside forces.
I feel like that's because when they describe what happens, they leave out all the other boring shit that also went on, and you get this false impression that the whole event was fun.
Ppl without this fear 😂 It can only exist when person is not sure in themself hence their choices, creating "grass is always greaner somewhere else (where I am not. When I get there it sucks, so it's, again, greaner elsewhere)". 5:40. Such ppl are always on the search but never finding, while in reality -they're realy missing out on things that actually Are good for them. Bcs they don't trust themselves. I met quite few of such ppl in my life. Also they're inevitably cheaters at some point, romanticly or otherwise. Still sad about your situation? 😉
The way this is narrated is so MY HUMOR TYPE 😂😂😂 I know it’s a serious video and I hopped on because I deal with SEVERE OCD fomo (like still stressed over that opportunity I missed in 1st grade) almost 20 years later but the humor just makes the video so much better 😂 and you don’t even seem to be trying to be funny you just naturally are 😂😂😂 this is lovely !
Back when I was younger and still had a life, I always missed all the good stuff. I literally had the ability to stop cool things from happening just by being there. It's a gift.
Brandon Munoz - It actually is cringy because this kid likes a video because he's easily impressed by a lame joke. That's like being at a party and yelling "this is the best party ever" it just has that awkward vibe to it, so no, it's not being thrown around loosely here. All forms of having fun are cringe if you wanna get real here.

Every single thing you'll ever do, right down to your manner of death, is either cool or not depending on if you want it to be. The attitude you decide to have about your experiences matters enormously more than the actual experience does.
Damn, this is eighth comment I've seen along the lines of "assuming I actually have friends, lol." That's kinda sad. Is isolation and loneliness that big of a problem among today's youth...? Not like I'm any different.
@@YhurHurt I literally cannot make a friend to save my life. I don't know how people do it. I'm not even that introverted. I'm quite bubbly, i just can't seem to solidify my acquaintances into friends. I guess that's just one of them things.

I clicked this video as soon as it popped up on my phone notifications because I was afraid of missing out on watching this. Edit: This comment just reached 666 likes, i'm going to hell.
I have to lower my expectations... Not a bad video, but I had some hope that it would bring some kind of solution to it, but it's true, and it sucks XD So, it was a good explanation, but I already knew.
@@gamingtruble525 I think the solution to fear of missing out is acknowledging that whatever you're doing at the moment is probably more important than what you're missing out in otherwise you wouldn't be doing it.
Game of Thrones is also a shining example of what's wrong with prime time television nowadays. It's a show for degenerates, full of pointless violence, sex, nudity, incest (yikes), profanity, and the list goes on. You literally have every reason not to watch it.
It’s not so much the Fear of Missing out, and more of not getting invited to do anything and those “friends” not reaching out to do anything and eventually I’m stuck in a cycle of wake, work, eat, watch shit content, talk to no one, sleep, repeat until the friendship fades into nothingness.

@Antonio Medeiros Please don't associate that kind of vocabulary with investing. That nonsense is strictly with those crypto people. Don't say they're one and the same. Normal investment conversations never have that kind of dialogue literally ever. Crypto people just like throwing money at random gold pieces and hoping for the best while yelling silly words like "FUD" or "FOMO" every two seconds.
But for real tho, relating to what he was talking about at the end, things that might sound exciting when I weren’t there, often would’ve been boring or unenjoyable if u were there
It might be that negative people drag people down so it's less fun, but another thing I've noticed is that people love to exaggerate. Even when you were there, people will tell stories to others that weren't there and they will make it sound much better than it actually was, probably to impress the other people. I don't like that behaviour at all, I only like the truth. Which is that life has no point unless you find something that makes you happy.
idk man, entry salary is like 60k if you're decent. After I graduate Imma keep living the sad life for a few years while saving and investing most of my salary so I can get into the real estate business in the meanwhile. Hopefully, I can retire by 25-26 with enough passive rental income
