We’ve all heard about FOMO (fear of missing out) - right?! But what about FOMU? No, it’s not a typo, and yes, I literally just heard it on a podcast. FOMU = Fear of messing up. That nagging hesitation that makes you second-guess yourself before hitting send on an email or speaking up in a meeting. It’s the subtle anxiety that keeps us playing it safe, avoiding risks, and staying firmly within our comfort zones. It’s funny how often we let FOMU stop us from the very things that could lead to breakthroughs or personal growth. If FOMO pushes us into overcommitment, FOMU holds us back from opportunities we should take. The sweet spot? Somewhere between the two. Anyone else battling FOMU without even realising it? What’s your go-to move to shake it off?
