Every group chat is filled with FOMO emotions, but honestly, most people are actually in a "Schrödinger" state—conflicted and helpless at the same time.

Instead of being overwhelmed by excessive anxiety, it's better to relax. Sometimes refusing to participate is also a form of wisdom.

Take a couple of days ago, for example, someone in the group was pushing a certain coin with all their might, sharing various data, logic, and prospects, making everyone feel itchy to join. I initially wanted to follow the trend and jump in, but then I stopped myself—rather than forcing myself to chase, it's better to honestly face the fact: I can't compete with these, and I can't afford to lose even more.

Honestly, it's just laziness to bother. If I participate, I might not make money; if I don't, I can preserve my principal. Why add pressure to myself just because of FOMO?

Instead of obsessing over this or that, it's better to calm down, learn the basics, and develop your judgment. What you don't see won't hurt you; reducing the noise messages you scroll through can actually lower the risk of being harvested. The market is always there; missing this wave isn't a big deal.

That's so true. I've been like that lately, listening to the group hype about certain coins every day, almost clicking to buy, but I managed to hold back. Lying flat is really winning. I looked at my account and thought, forget it, preserving the principal is the key. I've heard too many of those arguments in the group, it's so annoying, I'd rather learn something reliable. Missing this wave doesn't mean there won't be opportunities later; anyway, I'm not in a hurry. FOMO is just a trap; everyone who jumps in regrets it.

That's so true, I'm the kind of person who only understands after being cut. Now I've learned to mute group notifications, really. Not following the trend actually leads to a longer life, there's no doubt about that. What happened to the group of people shouting every day? Laziness is actually the optimal solution, how ironic. It's really a matter of self-awareness; many people simply lack this. There's no loss in not chasing this wave; the next one will come. Instead of listening to their bragging, it's better to quietly accumulate knowledge yourself. Sometimes, silence is the best strategy.

Honestly, I'm tired of all the sales pitches in the group. Instead of following the crowd and getting cut, it's better to lie low and be honest. --- People who are too lazy to think and follow the trend end up with the lightest wallets. I choose to trust my own judgment and avoid it altogether. --- This generation in the crypto world just lacks this kind of clarity. Instead of going all-in on a certain meme coin, I'd rather do nothing. --- If you can't afford to lose, don't force it. Well said. Anyway, there's always another wave. Why fall for scams? --- There's too much noise in the group now. I've started blocking those coin-pushing messages; out of sight, out of mind. My sleep quality has improved. --- Don't participate if you haven't figured it out. This is the most valuable lesson I've learned in these years. --- Instead of being tortured by FOMO in the group, it's better to stay calm, learn thoroughly, and only act once you truly understand.

Truthfully, if you're not interested, just don't pursue it. No need to make it so complicated. That's right, the people in the group just create anxiety. I might as well turn off group notifications now. Bro, this move is truly smart. How many people have lost everything because of FOMO? Instead of being harvested, it's better to let go of yourself. Preserving the principal is the real win. It's human nature; no one can escape FOMO. But those who can resist it really make money. Same here, I didn't chase after the projects I liked, and I feel much more at ease.

That's so true. I am the one who gets annoyed by the coin promotions. Instead of constantly worrying, it's better to just not see it.
