The importance of being FOMO
Article written by – Giorgio Ducci
Our surroundings say ‘inclusion, participation, social identity’, are we sure we want to follow these values? Are we ready to share our experiences, spaces and resources? In our lives we are not completely ready to share things, thoughts, words, but at the same time if we don’t do it we feel FOMO. Is that absurd?
It’s important to change perspective and not see FOMO as a negative situation. Think of the pleasure of being alone after skipping a party where everyone is going. At that moment you can finally read the book you bought three years ago because you wanted to become a better person. And now you have the opportunity to become that person.
Don’t think of FOMO as the fear of missing out, but as the chance to stay out of something that is not worth it. Worthy (Adj)
I just experienced four days of positive FOMO in Capalbio. Capalbio is a posh village in Tuscany, close to the sea. There is a surreal atmosphere: only restaurants and small shops where you can buy a mandatory linen T-shirt to enter the beach. If you do not have a linen cloth, please stay at home.
I was there with the company for four days, in a team building event. It was an opportunity to see them (meet) all together for the first time in two years. I noticed that the balance had changed because everyone experienced these days without considering the team spirit. Who was afraid of being left out? I experienced it as a spectator, observing the dynamics among people. There were those who couldn’t live without doing sport for four days and those who, for fear of being left out, were prepared to become Olympians in no time. Those who were afraid to feel on holiday and worked even while on the beach. Few listen to themselves but all tune in to FOMO radio.
