$ETH The fear of being left out in a crowd, also known as FOMO (an abbreviation for Fear of Missing Out), is a common psychological state in modern society, especially in the digital age and on social media. Those suffering from this syndrome often feel anxious and restless when they see others experiencing something they are not involved in – whether it's an investment opportunity, a social event, or new trends.

In the field of cryptocurrency, FOMO often causes investors to rush into buying coins when they see prices rising, fearing they will miss out on a 'life-changing opportunity', without thoroughly analyzing the project or the risks. This can easily lead to irrational decisions, resulting in buying at peaks and selling at lows.

Psychologically, FOMO stems from the fear of being left behind, the feeling of not being connected to the community, or the desire for recognition. The more one compares themselves to others (especially through social media), the stronger this feeling becomes.

To overcome this syndrome, one needs to cultivate self-awareness, clearly understand personal needs and goals, while also learning how to control emotions and avoid getting swept up in the crowd. Knowing how to say 'no', knowing how to wait for the right opportunity – that is true strength in a world that is always noisy and hurried.
