AgoraFOMO: Battling Social Anxiety Through Lyrics
Lyrics
I sit at home
I am staying at home.
Making plans inside my head
I am creating plans mentally.
For fear of missing out
I fear missing out on events or experiences.
That fear turns into dread
This fear intensifies and becomes overwhelming.
I ghost my friends
I avoid interactions with my friends.
I hope they cancel instead
I wish for my friends to cancel plans, relieving me of social obligations.
It's not that I don't care
It's not that I don't care about my friends; I just overthink things.
I just get in my head
I tend to overanalyze situations and thoughts.
Don't want to leave the house
I have a reluctance to leave my home.
Don't want to get in the car
I avoid driving or going outside.
Don't want to stand in line
I don't want to wait in lines at crowded places like bars.
At another crowded bar
Aversion to socializing at crowded bars.
I get lost in the crowd
I feel overwhelmed when surrounded by a large number of people.
I can't breath
I experience difficulty breathing in the crowd.
AgoraFOMO got me
AgoraFOMO, a term, is affecting me negatively. It combines Agoraphobia (fear of public places) and FOMO (fear of missing out).
I scroll my phone
I engage in mindless scrolling on my phone, substituting it for real-life experiences.
Pretend it's real life instead
I pretend that online interactions are equivalent to real-life experiences.
Anxiety has got me
Anxiety is causing me distress.
Laying in the bed
I find myself lying in bed due to anxiety.
I ghost my friends
I avoid interactions with my friends, repeating the pattern mentioned earlier.
I hope they cancel instead
I hope for plans to be canceled as a way to avoid socializing.
It's not that I don't care
Similar to line 8, my lack of social engagement is not due to lack of care for my friends but due to my mental state.
I just get in my head
I tend to overthink and get lost in my thoughts.
Don't want to leave the house
Reiteration of the reluctance to leave the house.
Don't want to get in the car
Reiteration of avoiding driving or going outside.
Don't want to stand in line
Reiteration of avoiding crowded places.
At another crowded bar
Reiteration of aversion to socializing at crowded bars.
I get lost in the crowd
Reiteration of feeling overwhelmed in large crowds.
I can't breath
Reiteration of difficulty breathing in crowded situations.
AgoraFOMO got me
The term "AgoraFOMO" continues to have a negative impact on the speaker.
