#3 Fear of Missing Out

Most of us are acquainted with the acronym FOMO, ‘Fear of Missing Out’. The New York Times describes FOMO as ‘the amalgam of worries, missing, and frustrations that can burst out while skimming social medias.

Before the advent of Social Medias such as Facebook and Instagram, people who decide to spend weekend time at home with a glass of wine and good books might have felt a bit guilty or misery that they were not out having a good time. But with the social media, the guilty feeling is blown up to a mega proportions. While you watch photos and videos of delicious food, raging parties, and dancing galore, you have the feeling that you have missed out on fine things and feel you should be out in your best attire instead of being at home with frustration. Even though, this is not your real idea of fun, you still may have those guilty feelings.

#4 The phantom vibration syndrome

Now we are hardwired to feel that our phone is vibrating, even if they are not. In 2012, a study published in the Computers and Human Behavior Journal found that 89 percent of 290 undergrad scholars surveyed felt their phone vibrating, even when it wasn’t, once every couple of weeks. The similar results were also found with the survey conducted on Hospital workers.

According to a psychologist, physical sensation such as itchiness may have mistaken by our brain as our phone vibrating. He claimed, “Something in your brain is being triggered that is different than what was triggered just a few years back.”
