You're at home. You can’t go out because you're busy. But you can't stop checking your phone. What's everyone else doing? Does this sound like you? Then perhaps you have FOMO—Fear of Missing Out.

"Sometimes I see a picture of some friends online, " explains Lucas 16. "They’re hanging out somewhere. I can’t go—maybe I have homework. But it makes me feel unhappy. My friends are having fun and I'm not."

About 20% of teenagers say that they get this feeling, but people of all ages experience FOMO.

For Grace, 21, her FOMO is a serious problem. "I never read or play sports now, " she explains. "I go out almost every night because I don't want to miss out. Or I sit at home and I read online about what my friends are doing. FOMO kills your interests in your spare time."

Dr. Suzanne Taylor, a psychologist(心理学家), says social networking website are not helping people with FOMO. "They're perfect for communicating with friends and relatives — all over the world. But they're full of pictures of your friends,doing exciting things. Suddenly, other people's lives look interesting and our own lives feel boring."

So how can we fight FOMO? Should we stop using social networks? "That isn't possible for many people,’’ says Dr. Taylor. "But before bed tonight, put your phone in another room. And before you go to sleep, think about the interesting things you're doing this week. And remember how lucky you are.’’
