Hey everyone, welcome back to Teenage Atherapy. I'm Gyao. I'm Thomas. I'm Kayla. I'm Mark.

Welcome back to another episode of Teenage Atherapy. Aren't you glad you're listening in?

And not missing out. Right?

Fear missing out is a big problem among teenagers. You think so? Yeah. No, for real FOMO though. This episode's all about FOMO. I'm sure you've experienced it. I feel like we all have at some point. It is an absolute killer.

I don't think, yeah, I don't know. FOMO sometimes a good thing, but like 90% of the time and that statistics made up. It's like probably a bad thing.

Fear missing out. I don't know what FOMO is. It's just like, yeah, you're fear missing out. So let's say like it's kind of like, I don't know what feeling I consider it. Maybe like an anxiety, an anxiety, like a restlessness, scared.

You're scared you're going to miss out on something. So if there's like a big, big Halloween party or something and like, you can't go, you're going to feel a big FOMO like, I'm so sad I miss out on. Especially all your friends are going to have everyone in there.

And you're not.

That's FOMO right there. You have FOMO anytime. Really. Any severe FOMO experiences. Severe like what the worst FOMO experience you've had.

Severe FOMO. Severe FOMO. No, somebody go, I can't think of one right now. It's a little too tough for me. I don't I don't have like anyone experience that like specifically stands out to me. Like I don't think it's ever been like that, that bad.

But I had a little FOMO last weekend. Was it? Because I was back at home and Tom says that USC. He was like, he ain't like going to one of my friends and I was like, oh, that's not so fun. And I was at home.

So I had a little FOMO. But I don't have like anyone that's like super specific that stands out.

I don't think I have anything specific either. I just know that the first couple of weeks at USC. Kellen, I just kept getting FOMO because like it was so hard to find parties. And like we would just keep on seeing people party. And we weren't going to anything.

And then I remember, oh, okay, I do remember that time when we're home for the weekend. And we chose. Oh my God. Yes.

Yes. I remember because everybody, everybody, even my fucking roommate was like doing something. And I was just in disbelief. Like the one time we decided to go home, everybody wanted to go and do something.

Yeah. It was so hurt that we can hurt. No, it makes me sad. Like I don't get angry or like scared like I'm missing out. I just get sad. Yeah, right?

Yeah, right? Like I could be having such a fun time. But honestly, I just like forget about it. Oh yeah.

It comes and goes. Like it doesn't hold me like that. But in the moment, it feels bad.

Interesting.

If I try to think of like intense FOMO experiences, honestly, I don't necessarily know what that would feel like. Like what is like intense FOMO? Does that mean I'm like going crazy? Like am I crying?

Like you would go out of your way to go to that one place. Even if it like, you know, even if you had to do something drastic.
