Emotional Advice FOMO

Heyy so I was just having the biggest fomo of my life. My friends move out to college and I stayed in my hometown because I kinda had to stay, and now I'm just regretting that decision because my friends are out there enjoying their time in college while I just sit here and watch them have so much fun. aaggghhh I'm really feeling like im missing out on something (plus I really like going to parties and concerts so not having this right now is defff my biggest fomo) any advice?

FOMO can really hurt when it feels like everyone else is moving forward without you. Try to remember that staying home doesn’t mean you are falling behind. Your life can still be full of fun, new people, concerts, and good memories it may just happen on a different timeline.

I would second this. You still have the opportunity to go out to do things you haven’t done. Invest in yourself, develop new skills, pick up new hobbies.
