Abstract

The update and iteration of mobile communication tools and the reduction of traffic fees have provided important technical and carrier support for the development of social media, which has been deeply integrated into people’s daily lives. Users face a large amount of information every day, and many users express fear of missing out on exciting content. This phenomenon is called FoMO, short for Fear of Missing Out. This article elaborates on its concept in detail, analyses the S-O-R pattern of formation mechanism, and categorizes and summarizes the adverse effects of loss anxiety. Faced with anxiety of loss, we suggest that social media users regulate their personal emotions through mindfulness training to maintain mental health.
