How do u know about these activities? Ru in a What’s s App group- perhaps contact was made and you didn’t see it/ didn’t respond?

FOMO. Fear Of Missing Out.

It means something completely different in my Royal Navy family so I was confused when it started popping up on social media. 😂

No it’s not social media . And I think they’d know I’d want to be included, . I’m very much one for saying yes to things .

Could it be that you had previously shown no interest in the activities and they think you don't want to go?

Alternatively, why don't you organise an activity and invite them along, things don't have to be left to others to arrange.

Is this because of their social media posts Cid24? Other people aren’t necessarily having a better time than you, but they often only post about their successes. They have problems and failures like everyone else.

Plan to do something you like - for example, visiting a gallery or walking in the park or a new book or coffee and cake in a nice cafe.

I keep a journal, hand written in a nice notebook, and it cheers me up to look at those,

I’m really struggling with this at the moment! Activities of groups of people I know that I’ve not been included in. I’m jealous and it’s not a nice feeling!
What can I do to to get over this?
