Original Title: Fear of missing out, or FOMO, isn’t just about missing out on fun. It’s about missing opportunities to bond with people we care about. FOMO stems from anxiety over how our absence affects our relationships and belonging in social groups, even when the missed events aren’t particularly enjoyable.
