Social Media Illusion The Truth Behind Online Lives

LearnFree 2025-09-08 | FOMO, or fear of missing out, is the anxiety we experience when we feel there’s something exciting happening elsewhere... and we’re not a part of it. It’s been around for awhile but these days, it’s usually triggered by social media.

We have instant access to our friends’ activity. That can be a good thing but it makes it all too easy for us to compare our lives to theirs. This leads to us second-guessing our decisions and feeling generally insecure. It can even get to the point where there’s a looming sense of FOMO even when we’re not online.

What you might not realize is that the people you’re comparing yourself to are also experiencing this same FOMO…

Watch our video to learn more about FOMO and how to cope with it.
