I don't have FOMO but I will cry for hours on end if my friends are out together without me

[madskvorning]

FOMO is a very interesting concept that makes us really think about the dangers of all social media and FOMO in general.

I dunno, is it considered FOMO when you're the only "friend" who's never asked to hang out? Cause damn it sucks knowing you have either the ball in chain or the internet to keep you occupied.

Social media is the cause of FOMO, before facebook I didn't know I was missing out on stuff....

[MsKoalaCake]

i would hang out with people if anyone would ask damn

[salukisan]

As an introvert this is nothing I will ever really have to worry about, parties and hanging around a bunch of people is overrated. Hanging with 1 or two or none is where its at.

[Fortissimo]

this video's ending means to tell you that in fact, you're not missing out on much.

Buzzfeed - 
I never saw anyone comment this before, but I'm really happy about the music in this video.
As much as I love buzzfeed videos, there's usually some dubstep music or trans in the background, which, I get why people like, but personally to me, it gives headaches. It's so fun and refreshing to finally hear some smooth jazz music.
I'm not saying you should totally get rid of one type of music, because we all have our own taste, but please try to make more videos with a variety of music that isn't ONLY dub step or electronic.

So many idiots in the comments...
First off, this isn't "First World Problem" bullshit. This causes genuine stress, depression, and insomnia in many people.
Secondly, it's not the same as being lonely. Being lonely means you want to have friends to do stuff with, but don't. FOMO means you have friends, and they ask you if you want to do something, and you only say "yes" because you're afraid that they're going to have the best time of their lives, and you'd have missed out on it.
Third, shut up about "FOMO is HOMO". What does that even mean? 

[adamhosie]

I have such bad FOMO especially when I'm already sad. It just feels like nothing happens when you're there and then you miss out one day and everything changes.

[ilumet]

As a person who has like, debilitating FOMO, I can relate

[freyamc.]

I can really relate to this, especially at this time in the holidays...

[TheInnovativeTV]

These animations are really good Buzzfeed, you should make more animations like this.

[AndrewProTV]

I have FOMO. I'm always scared that I will miss out on a new BuzzFeed video. :(

[diahraspadewi]

I have always had this feeling and just recently knew that its called FOMO. Its to the point that I dont use any social media especially Instagram cause I will spend my day just watching my friends stories and feel bad about myself

[jakay]

Social media is the main source of FOMO. I guess you can say it has ruined my life. Now that every one can see what anyone is doing or where they are, this can cause your mind to make up stories that your friends are doing activities with out you. This is something I didn't know I had until I found out about FOMO.

[Storm_x]

Thats why you live every minute of your life to the fullest.

[vampirebatjosieposie]

I think you should make a video about what it's really like to have OCD. So many people think it's just about liking to keep things neat and organized, but it's really a misunderstood anxiety disorder. 

[briannahillier]

I don't have fomo but I'm super shy and find it hard to make friends but at the time time I want lots of friends and be out having fun

[ItsOkayToBeThis]

That's not fomo, that's envy.
