    People experiencing FOMO may feel:
                          “Everyone else is having more fun than me.”

                          “I should also be doing what they’re doing.”
                          “I don’t want to be left out.”

                      This feeling can make  someone  check  their phone
                      again and again, compare their life with others, or feel
                      unhappy even when nothing is wrong.

                      In reality,  social  media often  shows only  the  best
                      moments  of someone’s life — not the full  picture.
                      Understanding this helps reduce FOMO and encourages
                      people  to  focus  on  their  own real-life experiences,
                      relationships, and goals.

                        Arjun and Kabir  were close  friends who always  shared  everything.  But  recently,  Arjun started
                        posting many photos on social media showing expensive gadgets, outings, and parties. Kabir knew
                        that most of these things were not true.

                        Arjun spent a lot of time checking likes and comments. He began feeling sad whenever he saw
                        others having fun online. One day, Kabir visited him and saw Arjun looking worried and tired. Arjun
                        finally admitted that he pretended online because he didn’t want to feel left out. He wanted to look
                        as cool as everyone else, but it was making him unhappy and stressed.
