Why the Real F.O.M.O. “Fear of Moving Out” Is Not So Scary

August 23, 2019

FOMO is the “Fear of Missing Out” according to mainstream acronym gurus, but the greater fear in a person’s everyday life is the fear packing up everything you own, putting it into organized boxes, just to spend weeks unpacking it -- in other words, the fear of moving out. Whether you are moving away from your family home to start a new journey in college, a fresh start in a new city, or just a few blocks away from your last resting spot, the general hassle of moving is never something one begs for.

Moving can be tedious; it asks you to reflect on your material life, down to every item in your long-since organized junk drawer. While many may not want to move, according to industry moving professional Joshua Green, the average American moves at least once every five years. But the silver-lining is arguably one of the biggest rewards in one’s life as well; a change a scenery, an appreciation for what you have and a new chapter of your life to explore.

Regularly moving, an increased way of functioning in the modern United States, has made this FOMO more relevant to a larger number of people, about 43 million a year according to SmartBox Moving. That is a lot of lives to seal into boxes and move all around this country on a daily basis. But because moving has become such a regular occurrence in many lives, so have ideas about the process and ease of moving.
