Term Of The Day: FOMO
FOMO is an acronym for Fear Of Missing Out, which is a feeling of envy or anxiety over missing out or being out of touch with events, experiences, or interactions. The phrase-turned-acronym has become so widely used and popular that Oxford and Merriam-Webster added it to their dictionaries as an officially defined word. WHAT IS FOMO? While originating from the fear of missing out, the term has taken on additional connotations. FOMO is the fear of not being included in an exciting or enjoyable activity or event that others are experiencing and sharing. People often don’t want to feel as if opportunities or events pass them by in life. Patrick McGinnis first created the term in 2004, in which FOMO became a term that has taken greater cultural precedence with the rise of social media. The psychological problem with FOMO is it can increase a person’s stress and anxiety while also negatively impacting a person’s self-esteem. If a person perceives that they are missing out on opportunities, events, or things, they may see a negative impact on their mental health and self-esteem, believing others are experiencing more joy in their lives. Those experiencing the phenomenon don’t know what they’re missing most of the time, but they worry others are having fun without them. This feeling of missing out on something has been around for centuries but wasn’t formally identified until 1996 by a marketing strategist.
