How to deal with FOMO (Fear Of Missing out)
I feel like it's the main reason I can't stop my YouTube addiction, do you guys have any ideas ?
You're viewing a single thread.
I'm sorry but could you describe your YouTube addiction? I just don't understand how someone can be addicted to YouTube or how FOMO happens in that scenario.
Missing out new videos, new memes, trends (in yt shorts) I guess I also have a parasocial relationship with one YouTuber (I started to stop looking at his videos because it was obsessive and we doesn't share any politics opinions anymore) so yeah...
Ah, alright. It's good to work towards ridding yourself of an addiction, but it needs to be replaced by a healthier alternative. It sounds to me like you would benefit from nore social stimulation. Maybe join a hobby club or group of some sort, then you can involve yourself more in that where you get a different kind of satisfaction from learning / doing something new.
I know that sounds cheesy but there are tons of things going on besides digitally; check out what's happening locally, there are probably other people who want to change up their habits with something different too and summer is a great time to do it. At the very least you could start cutting back the amount of time you spend on YouTube and work some other things into your daily routine.
