FOMO- the fear of missing out gets a lot of attention from the doctors, psychologists and business people. The syndromme is often identified as the desire to stay up to date with the stream of information and it regards both private and professional lives. The business people staring at their smartphones when they commute , the students scrolling up and down their Facebook walls during the breaks, middle-aged couples browsing the internet in bed in the evening not to miss any item which might be interesting to them…. and not reading/watching anything to the end just because something new appears or might appear.

The psychologists warn that some of these behaviors may be dangerous to our mental system: the growing percentage of people use their smartphones while having sex! The human mind is programmed TO KNOW and then TRANSFORM knowledge. That is why Internet opened such a dangerous channel- the never-ending stream of unlimited access to information. Missing information on the latest quotations at the Stock Exchange or ‘friend’s’ latest update on Facebook develops the sense of guilt and missing something important, it has negative impact on our real friendships and family bonds.
- constantly observed – nieustannie obserwowani
- in turn – z kolei
- compulsive – nałogowy
In the growing number of extreme cases people create the image of themselves on the social media which doesn’t reflect their real personalities and then they lose control on who they really are, which version of them is the real one. They believe they are constantly observed , just the way they observe others. That, in turn, leads to impulsive behavior: doing things just to show them on Facebook or Instagram rather than for the real experience. The consequence: impulsive or even compulsive buying, traveling, social life, etc.
