• FOBO, or fear of a better option, is the anxiety that something better will come along.
• It’s a recipe for indecision and “analysis paralysis” as people draw out the process of making choices.
• People with FOBO tend to alienate their friends, families, business associates and potential romantic partners because people eventually lose faith that they will actually ever make a decision.“FOBO is a serious problem that can inflict far more damage than FOMO,” author Patrick McGinnis said.
