Do you suffer from FOMO (fear of missing out)?



via



I decided today that I officially suck at social media....

The facebook, twitter thing had never been my style, but in saying this I started a blog and saw this as a preferred way of chronicling my life snippets and loves. It is not that I dislike the whole medium and concept of social media but I struggle to 'broadcast' what I am up to or doing at that particular moment, and the time for that matter.  Please don't hold this against me, I will continue to engage in 'my own fashion' but for now that is as good as it is going to get..until something else gives.

Then I read an article in the Sydney Morning Herald about being addicted to the constant updates of that flood our chosen outlets (or is that inlets?).  The term 'fear of missing out' or FOMO on something more interesting, exciting or better than what we're doing now, or missing apparently vital information on what your friends might be up to, is bound up with our love of communication technology and seems to be permeating our lives. 

The thing that probably saves me from this addiction is probably my love of exercise.  Yep, I'd rather go for a run, surf or just enjoy the girls.  My FOMO refers to something completely different...

What would you say would be your FOMO? What is the pleasurable something, you fear you will miss out on?
