It'll just be like, oh, I have FOMO, meaning like you're sad you can't make it.

You know you're going to miss out on a fun time.

But often like you might even say this, Lindsay, if you're actually glad you can't attend because it's such a way to make someone.

It's more about building connection to let them know you wish you could be there.

You would love to attend.

Just interrupt and say, oh, that sounds so fun.

I have so much FOMO right now.

I have FOMO right now.

Yes, absolutely.

good what else do we need to know yeah so we'll also use this when someone is sharing like you said about a fun time you missed right just like sounds amazing I have so much FOMO and I think it's important to point out that it's not just slang that's used by like teenagers and young people like you said Lindsay it's been around a couple of years it's very much been adopted into the vernacular yes anyone of any age can say this everyone's going to know what you mean

So let's use, let's share a couple of examples here, right?

So for example, I went to the party because I had FOMO, even though I was exhausted.

This is me.

It's really compounded it, right?

Because once upon a time, we didn't know that much what other people were doing, what our friends were doing.

So there wasn't as much FOMO.

Now we can see their posts on social media and be bummed that we're missing out on all of it.

I'm glad you're pointing that out because it's not just about parties, right?

Someone could tell me they were able to sneak in an afternoon nap and I'd be like, oh, I have FOMO.

Yes, this one's fun.
