You can only live one life to the fullest, if that makes sense

I nullify FOMO by doubling down on all decisions with spite

[andybenitez]

The food analogy. Cemented this in my head forever. Remember when you talk to people: use weird anecdotes and sayings that break the monotony of what dumb people like me call textbook speak.

[chickenmonger]

I remember realizing this. As a, person with a broad range of interests. Some creativity at least. And ok intelligence. Who grew up poor. You have to get ok with missing out on whatever. Because you are always missing out on something. Unfortunately you can choose maladaptive ways of dealing with that, or positive adaptive ways of dealing with it. The only thing that worked for me was… Proper orientation. As in proper context for where I’m going, and what I’m avoiding. And how.

[adhagozali]

It’s better to become something then to be potentially anything. So it boils down to taking a decision. Thanks for the reminder doc!

Ngl I laughed when I saw the thumbnail xD

Conquering FOMO is one of the greatest freedom that a person could attain.

[Justanothercog]

yep. Life gets ultimately easier when you stop living life dictated by fear & living life purposefully.

[searcher]

As I write this comment, I have 17 tabs open, 8 of which are wikipedia pages, 1 google translate, 3 youtube videos, 1 is a quoteinvestigator search, 3 are read articles from 2 hours ago, and a cambridge dictionary search I did a bit ago before finding this vid. the Doc. here's talking about streaming, and it probably has nothing to do with my reply, but I feel that multi-tabbing in ridiculous proportions has something to do with erratic attention spans, though in keeping the tabs open there is a 'Oh I'll finish reading it after THIS new cool thing' which has to do with unwillingness to miss something. Imo.

"fomo is the state of life"
What he means is that Missing Out is the state of life. Everything we do/experience involves missing out on a billion other things.
You can be fearfully missing out or fearlessly missing out but either way you're missing out

[nektulosnewbie]

GK Chesterton criticized the mindset that choice was to do with freedom when in his experience it was the exact opposite. It was of making choices and having them limit him by their very nature as choices, but experiencing life fully as a result.

[uh-ooooh]

it's so weird because he's right re that it's easy. When you're in the fomo state, it's hard to get out. But when you do decide to just stop for just 1 moment, it's surprisingly very easy. A weird loop of easy and difficult at the same time.

"Ha, FOMO. I conquered that a while ago"
*This video pops up while I have literally 100+ tabs open*
"Oh... Perhaps I may not have completely conquered FOMO"

[soccom]

We aren't greedy.
We are unhappy that our executive functioning is overwhelmed.
We cannot get the highest priority thing.
We are unhappy that we aren't being treated as well as we think we should be.
We are unhappy because there are false expectations created by marketing, social media, society.

the reason i have 183 tabs open is that exciting things i wanna learn pop up faster than i can learn them (and this is mainly because of school and work taking up 90% of my awake time)

[ontheline]

I usually have 15 tabs open lol. Not for that reason tho. I like yo open all youtube videos from houtubers I like the moment I come from work to just watch them one by one. Then I have some language materials, drawing poses shit that is always opened. And if I start art project I have 20 refference pages lol cuz I compose one portrait from one pose, 2 hair photos, some flowers, some effects, etc.

[АлександраГришина-ср]

Fomo was ironically the thing that ruined my life most

[seyproductions]

I always ponder what else I could have eaten instead of the meal I chose for my lunch.

That's probably why I'm obese today; I sometimes choose to eat them all in one meal.

[charleschristianson]

15 tabs is nothin'. It feels like an accomplishment when I can manage to keep it under 100.

[nd]

The only time I’ll have 15 tabs open is specifically when doing a long research paper and I don’t want to lose a source before I’m done using it and have it fully cited

[ebenolivier]

This is probably one of the best perspectives I could've heard today.
