Social networks make you afraid to be out?

                            
Learn more about the phenomenon known as "fear of losing something," which is increasingly common

                            

The world today is composed of the meeting of the world face and also the virtual. There are few people who still resist and are not part of the digital world. But people do not always manage to balance the actions and some plummet to the internet world. Some people feel inadequate and indecisive to see updates from other people in social networks. At this point, they compare and make an altered reading of the world, leading to great frustration and personal mismatch. The avalanche of information on what friends are doing: travel, places, food, parties, all accompanied by writing and photos. They are images and more images of all sorts that lead some to question whether their lives are so interesting as well.

At such times the feeling of "why I have all this too?" or "why am I not doing all that well?" It is devastating. There is no happiness to remain with these negative ideas. This illness described above has a name: "Fear of Missing Out" (furnace), the English expression that can be translated as "fear of losing something." It is the constant need to be updated at the same time giving pleasure, creates anguish and suffering. This kind of distortion happens for a few reasons:

                            

individual reading absence of situations: when you see many people with interesting pictures at social events, it is a reading of the general, leading the mind to an error. For example: usually people take vacations once a year. If you have 1000 friends on a social network, and we imagine that all to post pictures of your vacation, you will have at least 1,000 people talking about travel and rest, possibly every other day. This gives the false illusion that every day is a holiday, but this is not an absolute truth, will not be party to all at the same time

Spent most of time in the virtual: people who spend time in the virtual world and have few action activities in the real, can have a sense of frustration and malaise to see this virtual world so many people taking advantage of the real world in a way that it does not does

fantasy Excess: spend much time with thought and fantasy and have little concrete action on a daily basis can also lead to negative feelings and bad

Difficulty of dealing with the separation between the real and virtual
Dissatisfaction with real life and digital becomes a source of escape and escape.

                             

This syndrome is also related to self-esteem. Who's good about yourself is more control and balance on these stimuli. Who's with impaired self-esteem just wishing and envying what fantasy that the other has. The mind of one who is not well is capable of inventing many distorted versions for a single fact. Remember that this kind of behavior is not only the digital world, this is part of emotions as a whole and takes place in the real world too. Be careful to avoid suffering and distortion is very important.

FOMO can affect the day to day and the person who feels when relations suffers and acts in an unbalanced way. Some examples of actions:

Want to stay connected all the time
Interrupting a real conversation to check virtual information
Miss deadlines to view information on the Internet
Browse compulsively from one site to another
Neither knows what he is seeing the looking on the internet.
Whenever there is suffering and with it a loss of now, the real, the concrete, you may be wasting your time and entering a path mismatches.

As appropriate, seek professional help. Sessions psycholinguistic programming (NLP), EMDR, life coaching and psychotherapy are fundamental to the well-being of the meeting and mental health.
