Lots of people are suffering from one of the most serious epidemic called FOMO that leads to extreme loneliness and depression. Here’s how to check yourself before you wreck yourself and how to deal with it…
Well guess what?! Reality Check! Most of the people out there who seem to be having fun with their lives are actually just enjoying life as is, at home, by themselves or with their love ones and knows that it is boring but shares it on social media anyways. If you believe that any persons life is exactly like that on their Instagram or Facebook all the damn time, you are in one hell of a lalaland.
Now, before you start suffering from FOMO, ask yourself if you actually want to do those activities you think you want to do. Because if you really do, then I don’t know what is stopping you on the first place. Which leads to another reality check, maybe you are just bored and single and wouldn’t accept the fact that you do need someone.
(NOTE: If you really want to understand this on the psychological level watch “Why you will marry the wrong person” where Alain de Botton explains how we are actually needy people that need someone to be with us…)
If you still feel lonely, check your priorities. We all have work and things to do like trying to adult and survive this climate change. Not everyone is free to just “hang-out” and be out all the time. You might be watching too many TV shows to think that you will always have Rachel and Monica and Phoebe and all these people around you all the time. REALITY is different, I hate to break it to you.
Honestly, if you can enjoy time alone in your own zen world then you won’t crave attention or any external things. Life is simple, we breathe, we eat and the best way to stimulate yourself is to exercise, do daily activities like cook, clean, garden etc. and you’ll feel more useful to yourself and less bored and lonely. Or you just gotta fix your personality for people to be able to deal with you. Who knows? You be the judge of you!
