The Daily PollDo you get FOMO?
A portion of the population will be in Stradbally this weekend – while another portion will be wishing they were there.
IT’S ELECTRIC PICNIC Eve – and by this time tomorrow, tens of thousands of festival-goers will be pitching tents and gearing up to see acts like Chappell Roan, Hozier, and many more.
At this stage, some people might be feeling (or trying very hard to pretend they’re not feeling) the dreaded Fear of Missing Out, otherwise known as FOMO.
FOMO is that uneasy feeling when you’re not part of something special – like when everyone and their mother seemed to be at the Oasis reunion in Croke Park earlier this month.
Sure, the feeling fades. But today, we want to know: Do you get FOMO?
