FOMO - The fear of missing out

The fear of missing out is a fear of losing something we never had, and therefore could be called a mental defect. However, it is widespread, real and can cause us to regret something that did not actually happen. The full destructive power of FOMO can be seen in two friends who decided to invest their savings in Bitcoin in 2012.

Not everyone needs to know how great your life is. Second, if you don't like your own FOMO, mingle with people who aren't competing in your field. Third, use it to get good at something or start a new career. Just join a group of people who are good at what you dream of and let your FOMO do the rest. Fourth, if you want to close a deal, remind others of their FOMO to close quickly.
