FOMO = Fear Of Missing Out.
If you’re feeling seriously left out whenever you look at all the cool things everyone is posting to Instagram, follow the account fomonomo right now. (Get it? FOMO … no mo’?) It’ll probably put things in perspective a bit.
You’ll get to see all sorts of things that wouldn’t inspire FOMO in anyone. For example:
This unappetizing situation.
This maddening injustice.
This dental hygiene experience.
And this depressing reality.
This home improvement project.
This sartorial task.
And this dreadful chore.
This office job reality.
This academic pursuit.
This meal. Sorry, “meal.”
And all of these alerts.
This computer issue.
This waiting location.
This line of humans.
And this task that’s so boring it’s what people say when they talk about boring things.
This scene from truly one of the worst places on Earth.
This Sisyphean undertaking.
And this dread-inducing realization.
This VERY unfortunate personal problem.
This cat owner’s responsibility.
And this visit. *Shudder*
Oh, by the way: The opposite of FOMO is JOMO. That’s JOY Of Missing Out. And it’s glorious.
Many thanks to Paul Kita, the genius curator of fomonomo.
