Fear Of Missing Out This is the phobia many of the readers are plagued by. I came to know about it just recently through an article published in the newspaper. Many people these days think that if they don't have a "Facebook", "Twitter", "G+" or any other social website account, or if their mobile doesn't have "Whatsapp" or any other so-called "social application" in "a smartphone" then they think that they are missing out on worldly affairs and start taming a phobia, dubbed F.O.M.O. by psychologists around the globe. I am disillusioned by the need of an indispensable online society where people all behave in a virtual manner and project themselves to be the best.

F.O.M.O. - An Important Article

Not a poem but an informative post. Wake up if you are still stuck in the illusion. Because I know that nobody will be happy in the long run after losing real friends due to virtual ones. Please don't damage your careers, relationships and other far more important things in life by falling for the illusions created by the online society.
