i'm afraid of commitment. i think it's a fear that's a subset of fomo, and a fear that's a consequence of the rise of social media. it's the fear of becoming out-of-touch, disrespectful, and an "unc." it's the fear that i'm committing to something wrong. but i think that's partly what differentiates uncs. they've gone through commitment, a daunting process where you "lock in" where you place your attention. social media is a place where i feel safe, feel informed, and feel like what's going on in the world. the attention that i give to social media makes me feel like i'm a part of society, and if i leave it, i'm afraid that i won't know what the world is like.
