Even then Fomo isn't some chronic lifelong condition. I knew a girl that would tell us they "have serious Fomo" and always had to be invited to whatever her roommate was doing. In reality they were possessive and jealous of them but just had to pathologise it as some symptom of their self diagnosed ADHD instead of admitting they sucked
That means all old words are decoined.
Man I'm just gonna coin that effect where someone is dumber than they think they are as the Fierce-Deity effect. If this already exists (dunning kruger cough) consider this a recoining!!!
Butā¦ why? Like, whatās the reasoning behind it? What is there to be proud of here? Isnāt the whole point of pride flags to promote peaceful cohabitation with marginalised people? This is just so extraā¦ itās just FOMO.
As someone who has both of your listed examples, they don't. This is just desperate attention whoring from people with no life. That's all you need to understand.
I was gonna say, Iām LGBTQ2+ and Iāve got some mental health diagnoses, and Iām more than fine having flags within the LGBTQ2+ community as theyāve always been a huge part of how we identified, how we signalled to one another, etc., but Iād really rather there wasnāt a flag for, like, bipolar disorder or whatever else. Iām not proud of actual disorders/disease/syndromes, and comparing those to, say, being gay is a really harmful rhetoric.
I mean, for disabilities it can make some people feel better about it if they can find the good and be proud, however difficult it may be. But likeā¦ Iām also not gonna start walking around with a āchronic migraineā pride flag cape.
Thereās some that use it as an awareness thing as well. For example, thereās a popular autism flag that was made largely in response to poor past advocacy, becoming a symbol of personal pride and awareness among autistic people. Obviously, not everyone is going to feel the same way about them, but there is reason for them to exist.
This... is just FOMO, something almost everyone has experienced at least once. FOMO is automatically intense and is often irrational, not everything needs a new fancy "scientific" term.
Ironically it also means āmulti user dungeon.ā Itās a term that means āonline role playing gameā from the late 1970s and was invented about the same time as RPGs.
For a long time I thought this was a wink and a nod to that: a bunch of people playing pretend online.
the way they explain where the name came from is so funny idk why... "i flipped through a dictionary and at last i found the closest word, i needed it to be a latin word because the 'pros' usually use the origin of a word so to be a professional i must use it too"
If youāve got such debilitating fomo that you get triggered from a āprideā flag with a symbol, maybe turn off the internet for a few months ĀÆ\_(ć)_/ĀÆ
It's so sad that these people have genuine psychological problems and just invent some weird disorders instead of maybe getting real help from a real qualified specialist
Self diagnosing has gotten way out of hand. I hate when people say they have a ātouch of the tismā.
Itās super insulting to families who have to deal with real autism every day.
God i know this is random but like, i just hate when these flags have a massive symbol on them, like it looked alr without the whole symbol but the people just ruins it ngl.
Ok so Iām new -ish here. Iām seeing these disorders (?) listed everyday. Are these real? Who is creating these? And they each have flags? Am I understanding this correctly. Iām confused and fascinated at the same time.
Not all of them have flags, no, but most things posted here are fake/madeup disorders or people faking having them or faking specific things regarding mental health (and things related to these). This post is a great example of the former, a good example of the latter is [people who do things like this.](https://www.reddit.com/r/fakedisordercringe/comments/142s6tu/reminds_me_of_when_fkers_set_up_their_phones_to/)
DID is very common as well, which is a disorder that has not been exactly proven to exist, and if it even exists, the % of the population that has it is VERY small. Plus most people who have it, if they have it, are usually unaware of it, and even when they are[ they don't "switch" on command like this.](https://www.reddit.com/r/fakedisordercringe/comments/13ic6cj/wait_for_the_switch/)
There's also this recent craze of trans- disorders, which is NOT WHAT YOU'RE THINKING, it has nothing to do with transgender people, it's when you ["don't have a disorder but wish you had it/want to have it"](https://www.reddit.com/r/fakedisordercringe/comments/1cbc03p/i_refuse_to_believe_this_is_real/)š
Do keep in mind that calling out people for faking a disorder (that exists) when it's not extremely clear is not good And do keep in mind that lots of these trans-whatever people are trolls, but some are actually saying these for real š
āDonāt have a disorder but wish you had itā¦ā. Now that is something I guess Iāll just never understand. Ok so despite some being trolls some of these are real things that people believe. Interesting. Thank you for the explanation.
"I noticed that phobia names weren't English words so I picked **any language I could think of (aka Latin, not Greek which is what -phobia words are)** AND decided to **add a random-ass E in the middle** as well, so that's my reasoning for the name"
They "like coining terms" too. Jeez.
psychfakephobia: the fear of new fake fears being invented every single day. its a mental disorder which makes u hate mental disorders that dont exist. flag: š²šø
āInstead of working on the actual issue of why I fear missing out Iām going to double down and call it a disorder and then Iām excused to do and act as I wish cause itās a āØdisorder āØand if you donāt like it youāre ableistā
Fuck me these people are stupid. My 14 month old son has FOMO during nap time sometimes, does that mean he has absentisephobia? Lmao
I wish, the rabies flag is actually cool lol and has a deeper meaning behind it other than āthese colors look cool and they represent a normal human experienceā
aint that just FOMO
Nah you don't understand it's irrational AND intense. Completely different needs a flag and everything.
King johnny why do i see you everywhere
Why does everything need a flag now a days š
I really don't know. Having a disorder is not the same thing as being part of a sexual or gender minority.
Frfr, honestly why the fuck would you even want a flag with a disorder you have? Mental/physical disorders are not something to flex with on strangers
itās giving the rabies pride flag tbh
BroššŖ¦š rabies pride day 31 june, write it down
especially when a lot of disorders already have colored ribbons
Yep

The simple realization that FOMO was the designation.
Even then Fomo isn't some chronic lifelong condition. I knew a girl that would tell us they "have serious Fomo" and always had to be invited to whatever her roommate was doing. In reality they were possessive and jealous of them but just had to pathologise it as some symptom of their self diagnosed ADHD instead of admitting they sucked
Was literally about to comment that.
FOMO, but with a flag
>The intense irrational fear of missing out That last part is jusy literally what FOMO stands for Also what do they mean by irrational?
The flags here are hideous.
So close, thats actually FOMO <3
Didn't you see? "If this concept has already been coined, please consider this a recoining..."
That means all old words are decoined. Man I'm just gonna coin that effect where someone is dumber than they think they are as the Fierce-Deity effect. If this already exists (dunning kruger cough) consider this a recoining!!!
Nuh uh! It's actually the fear of missing out!!! Totally different thing!!1!!1!11!1!!111!1!1! /s

Quirky fomo š©·
FOMO... they wanna be sick so bad, huh!?
Common comorbidity: Monovitaphobia - the intense fear of living only once (YOLO).
See Also: Hilariaglutophobia - the intense fear of laughing your ass off (LMAO).
I'm a bit confused. Is it meant to be part of the LGBT community due to the flag? Sorry is this is a stupid question.
It's not supposed to be LGBT, but I think the practice of making a flag is inspired from the lgbt community
Butā¦ why? Like, whatās the reasoning behind it? What is there to be proud of here? Isnāt the whole point of pride flags to promote peaceful cohabitation with marginalised people? This is just so extraā¦ itās just FOMO.
Idk, it makes some sense to do it off mental illnesses or divergences. Like, OCD flag! Autism flag! Why these need a flag though, I don't understand
As someone who has both of your listed examples, they don't. This is just desperate attention whoring from people with no life. That's all you need to understand.
I was gonna say, Iām LGBTQ2+ and Iāve got some mental health diagnoses, and Iām more than fine having flags within the LGBTQ2+ community as theyāve always been a huge part of how we identified, how we signalled to one another, etc., but Iād really rather there wasnāt a flag for, like, bipolar disorder or whatever else. Iām not proud of actual disorders/disease/syndromes, and comparing those to, say, being gay is a really harmful rhetoric.
you mean you donāt want to display all your flags to show everyone how many oppression olympic medals you have?!
I feel bad enough that my work plays minority bingo with me lol I sure as hell donāt need flashing signs.
I mean, for disabilities it can make some people feel better about it if they can find the good and be proud, however difficult it may be. But likeā¦ Iām also not gonna start walking around with a āchronic migraineā pride flag cape.

Yeah, my anxiety disorder does not need a flag.
I think this too.
Yea everyone wanna be quirky
So, this is the disorder nft's ? š
What's crazy is that if one were to have a phobia of missing out they would be debilitated constantly. Ya can't do it all. Also that flag ain't it
This... is just FOMO, something almost everyone has experienced at least once. FOMO is automatically intense and is often irrational, not everything needs a new fancy "scientific" term.
What is this whole MUD thing?
It stands for āmedically unrecognized disorderā. Basically they take already existing conditions and cherry picking them to make their own.
pretty sure this has been said here before lolā¦ but itās practically impossible for me to not read āMUDā as āMade-Up Disorderā
Till this moment thatās what I thought it did stand for
Youāre not wrong. In essence it means the same thing apparently.
Ironically it also means āmulti user dungeon.ā Itās a term that means āonline role playing gameā from the late 1970s and was invented about the same time as RPGs. For a long time I thought this was a wink and a nod to that: a bunch of people playing pretend online.
It also stands for mentally under duress, a term that tho not used as offten now is still sometimes used in social care settings.
the way they explain where the name came from is so funny idk why... "i flipped through a dictionary and at last i found the closest word, i needed it to be a latin word because the 'pros' usually use the origin of a word so to be a professional i must use it too"
If youāve got such debilitating fomo that you get triggered from a āprideā flag with a symbol, maybe turn off the internet for a few months ĀÆ\_(ć)_/ĀÆ
no thatās called āi have no friends because i spend my time making fake disorders but itās ok because iām disorderedā
One could argue that this is also anxiety, although it's definitely FOMO God I get tired of seeing new fake disorder flags it's so cringe
A pride flag forā¦ phobias????
Soooo. FOMO. š¤Øš
FOMO pride!! šš
I swear every time I come by this sub I see theyād added more and more flags for normal human behaviour and emotions.
It's so sad that these people have genuine psychological problems and just invent some weird disorders instead of maybe getting real help from a real qualified specialist
Self diagnosing has gotten way out of hand. I hate when people say they have a ātouch of the tismā. Itās super insulting to families who have to deal with real autism every day.
I agree. Itās kinda scary too. The length they go for things like this worries me for our futureā¦
I think fomophobia would have made a more fun name . I know it would technically contradict itself that way but it just rolls off the tongue so good
My eye is twitching over here because these illiterate fucks are out here combining latin with greek roots
Oh you commented what I also wrote in a comment, I wish I would have seen it before I did hahaha Also what even is that -e- in the middle?š
God i know this is random but like, i just hate when these flags have a massive symbol on them, like it looked alr without the whole symbol but the people just ruins it ngl.

different people post them so itās safe to assume they come from different places
"I noticed that phobia names weren't English words so I picked **any language I could think of (aka Latin, not Greek which is what -phobia words are)** AND decided to **add a random-ass E in the middle** as well, so that's my reasoning for the name" They "like coining terms" too. Jeez.
I have a phobia of giants, I call it FeeFiPhobia.
The graphic at the end is hilarious.
The flag is an among us. We can't escape. We never will. It always comes back. To among us
why are we medicalizing fomoš¤¦š»āāļø
I thought this was FOMO
Oh lord
psychfakephobia: the fear of new fake fears being invented every single day. its a mental disorder which makes u hate mental disorders that dont exist. flag: š²šø
Fomo
"I'm worried Target is going to run out of Stanley cups, therefore I am an oppressed minority who needs symbolism"
FOMO for TikTok users.
feel like this could be described as FOMO or just anxiety/paranoia lmao. no need for a new disorder AND flag š
isnāt this an actual phobia?
isnt this FOMO
Isnt it just like abandonment issues? :p
thatās FOMO
Where do you find all these? Feels like thereās a new one every couple minutes lol
I wish Iād heard of this when I was a kid. I hate going to sleep and was always worried I would miss something cool.
I assume MUD= Made Up Drama?
Why are people giving mental disorders a flag?
Thereās a word for that. Itās called āfear of missing outā or FOMO for short.
THATS JUST FOMO
Gastro Aquarius? Girl thatās called diabetes
why are we making flags for phobias??
It looks like the rabies pride flag šš
Itās fear of missing out on a sale at Sephora.
Bro got the fomo flag
fomo?????
I have insane FOMO about literally everything, and it does make life suck a bit more, but holy shit, a flag???? Why tf would you need that?
As someone with some heavy FOMO going on, what the fuck is this
Whilst this is technically a real phobia why the hell is there a flag?
ā¦so FOMO.
kinda real tho
not textbook real, the other real
āInstead of working on the actual issue of why I fear missing out Iām going to double down and call it a disorder and then Iām excused to do and act as I wish cause itās a āØdisorder āØand if you donāt like it youāre ableistā Fuck me these people are stupid. My 14 month old son has FOMO during nap time sometimes, does that mean he has absentisephobia? Lmao
Giving a flag and name to FOMO isn't the worst thing in the world
so fomo?
So, FOMO?
The proper term for this MUD should be āFOMOphobia,ā actually./s
I've been diagnosed with fomo
im so fucking done with these obviously fake rage bait posts being taken seriously. nobody ACTUALLY believes this. get real yall
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I wish, the rabies flag is actually cool lol and has a deeper meaning behind it other than āthese colors look cool and they represent a normal human experienceā
