FOMO

 FOMO is Fear Of Missing Out.  I used to have this as a bachelor living in an apartment in San Francisco.  This was before I went into the seminary.  I would get home from work, especially on a Friday, and have nothing planned.  I lived near a bunch of bars in the Cow Hollow Area of San Francisco.  Part of me just wanted to stay home and read, make something or get something to eat.  Sometimes exercise outdoors.  But then there was this nagging sense that I was missing out on something on the streets and in the bars.  I usually gave in to the missing out energy.  Invariably I was better off at home, exercising or getting something to eat.  Missed out on a lot of good reading by doing this, and practice cooking/shopping.  But I have learned to be with me and do healthier things on a Friday night.
