FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) can be a "liar":

FOMO often makes us believe that:

* Everyone else is having a better experience: This is rarely true. People typically only share the highlights of their lives, creating a skewed perception.

* We'll regret not participating: While sometimes true, FOMO exaggerates the potential regret. Often, what we "miss" isn't as great as we imagined.

* There's a limited opportunity: FOMO creates a sense of urgency, implying that if we don't act now, we'll lose out forever. In reality, new and often better opportunities arise regularly.

In essence, FOMO lies by distorting reality, making us believe in an exaggerated version of what we're missing, leading to unnecessary anxiety and often poor decisions.
