Regardless of our generation, we have all experienced the painful sting of FOMO. The fear of missing out.

FOMO is the reason why some of us do things way out of our comfort zones just to satisfy our anxiety. FOMO makes you go to parties even when you have a cold. It makes you drive all the way to the other corner of the city and it is probably why you’re burning the money in your pockets.
