    The 6 Stages Of Chronic FOMO Everyone Experiences

    Fear Of Missing Out. It's a sickness, be nice.

    1. You've decided to spend an evening at home. Maybe you're exhausted from your last night out

    Maybe you're out of money

    Or you've just had enough of people

    The point is, you're staying in tonight. Just so long as you can pretend that no-one else is doing anything fun.

    2. Then, what you were dreading happens. Your phone rings.

    Someone, somewhere is doing something, and you're not a part of it

    But you made a decision, and everyone else can do whatever the hell they want

    3. But you're thinking about it now. Fun is being had.

    You check Instagram, and everything is spectacular

    Someone is eating at a restaurant with food made by magic

    In a place where the delicious drinks flow freely, yet no-one is drunk

    Your friends will be hanging out with celebrities

    They'll be at some crazy, impossibly awesome place

    And everyone will be happy and beautiful

    Meanwhile, you'll be at home

    Whatever happens, it'll be an unforgettable night

    With at least one crazy story you'll never be a part of

    4. Suddenly, your plans are looking worse

    Even Netflix is making fun of you

    5. You know what you have to do

    Answer the phone...

    Get psyched up...

    Get ready...fast

    Head out!

    Everyone is so happy you're there. Time to have that once-in-a-lifetime night!

    6. It's not very good. Still, you've learned your lesson - you won't be suckered in next time!
