I am sorry if I sometimes miss an event I wanted to attend but I also know that there is no way to see or do everything. There is a whole world of things that I will miss out on and I can't let that be a factor in my life.

I realise i will miss out on a lot in life, but hell compared to much of the world I am so fortunate.
But I still get peeved, jealous I guess.

That's why I am here now.....what did I miss?????

Mostly when I was a kid. Sometimes I experience it on New Year's Eve if I have nothing to do. NYE always seems like the holiday where you see tons of people partying on tv and if you have nothing to do you feel left out.

I've certainly experienced it. Though not so much fear, as a general sadness.

There's an event that I go to that's held on the first Friday of each month that I've been going to for about 5 years now. I attended 23 of the 24 events in the first two years of going. The one I missed out on was because another event had put the hotel prices through the roof.

I still enjoy it, though it's got too expensive and too samey to be doing it every month. But those first few times I skipped it were quite depressing. Sitting at home, knowing I should be out having a good time.

I still get twinges of it now, especially when the ones who are there are posting what they're up to all over social media. But I'd rather do it on a generous budget every other month than on a tight one, monthly, so roughly every other month is the best solution right now.

I'm a polar opposite. I've never been a fashion victim but I have to my annoyance been a victim of fashion.

I'm glad i don't suffer from FOMO. would hate to have to try the trendy darwinism challenges like the tide pod challenge. lol.

When I read the headline, I thought it meant fo' mo' years of Trump.

It seems to be a big problem with people that buy stocks. Don't you wish you could go back in time and buy Apple stock or Google stock or Birkshire Hathaway when they were first offered?

Don't do if only or what ifs. I make a decision and get on with the rest of my life. I can go to a restaurant, order my meal then put down the menu and wait for it to arrive without critiquing every other plate of food as it comes out to see what I'm missing out on.Anybody who wants to start up the whole maybe you should have done thing with me after the decision is made gets short shrift because I am not going to spend my life worrying about what I may have missed out on. Sure way to make yourself dissatisfied with what you do have.

Other. Because I would "fear" it. Then I would just shrugged my shoulders and forget about it. Apathy can be used for good.

Yes, I guess. I have that issue with original Misfits reunion shows. I want to go to all of them. I missed the two riot fest shows already. I guess. Is that what the acronym refers to?

I've been told I'm missing out on the love of Jesus.

I don't have a smart phone and have no desire to be so connected to the internet. I play well alone but do enjoy others - on my terms. LOL I don't even have caller ID on my land line - I AM a risk taker!!

I used to, but as I move closer and closer to death, it no longer affects me.

Whenever I hear FOMO, it reminds me of the early days of the lottery, when everyone in the office would contribute....I did, too, because I couldn't stand the thought of how horrible it would be if they actually won and I wasn't part of it.

I don't think I'm worried about missing out on anything. At my age, if I haven't done it (yes, that list is endless), there's little chance I will, so I just accept that. That does not mean there's nothing I still would like to do.

I missed out on the anachronism fomo...hehe....so, you caught me...

No, I'm a loner and don't really enjoy the company of others.
