If you don't know what your friends are doing, will you get anxious (焦虑的) ? Fifty- one percent of teenagers said yes when they were asked this question in a recent study. The fear that "I'm absent while others might be having fun" is called FOMO — fear of missing out.
FOMO pushes you to check the social media (社交媒体) more often. This can make you become more easily affected (影响) by others. You may feel sad, lonely and bored if you start to experience FOMO.
So, what can we do to deal with it?
Change your focus
You should stop worrying about what you may be missing out on. Instead, try to focus on the good things you have already been doing. Use your spare time to do things you enjoy, such as painting or playing soccer.
Keep a diary
By keeping a personal diary, you will learn to be more grateful for the great things you have in your life. You will realize that you are the only one who has control over your life, not the Internet. ….
Build up real connections
When you feel lonely, why not meet up with people in real life? Talking with your family or taking part in a group activity can help you feel better.
As long as you live in the moment, you'll never miss out on anything in your life!
