Try calling or texting a friend to meet up in real life! If you have FOMO, your friends might too. Calling someone to hang out or just talk on the phone can make them feel included and is a great way to connect.
There are a few questions to ask yourself:
- Is there a specific product in the post?
- Does the person tag a company or brand?
- Is the person selling something?
- Does the post link to another post?
- If the answer is yes to any of these, chances are it is an ad-and not real life.
Every person is different, but if you start to notice you feel bad about yourself or notice that you compare yourself to others when you are scrolling, it’s time to take a break and do an activity that doesn’t involve your device! If you notice that you check your device automatically-without realizing it, feel like you have to check your social media all the time, or get angry when you reach your time limit, you might be developing an unhealthy habit and spending too much time online.
