How to be a responsible FOMO liar

I saw a post pretty often here on insensitive FOMO posts and so I'm about to share my top 3 FOMO lies designed to do the most damage with the least shame!<br><br><br>Having a month to spare I jumped into an experiment to see the entire Duolingo journey from the beginning to the end in the shortest period of time (it only took a couple of weeks!)! You can read about it in my PREVIOUS POST<br><br><br>In the begging of the journey I fell into a trap (FOMO) that I would never be able to get a 100 days steak! So I lied! I was posting my progress and also the longest steak ever. And as I got more into it, I embraced the lie all the way to the end!<br><br><br>I know that it is wrong and I feel bad about it but I tried use it in my favor and also get something out of it! It helped me to get into a routine and it is still working! Why? Because I was answering questions from people about the secret of my longest steak and why I was able to do it (I was not!). I even moved my steak in the middle of the month to the other language (I do not regret it!) and by that I had a feeling that I'm losing another longest steak!. I embraced the feeling so hard and I was so responsible to it that I'm going for another one now!<br><br><br>Top 3 ways to do it:<br><br><br>1. Go all in on the lie - start to lie with the first day and go all in from day one!<br><br><br>2. Make it a butt of a joke! - you can use it as an idea for the funny joke! If you know that you are not able to get a 100 days steak, welcome to the club!<br><br><br>3. Lie responsibly - it takes a lot of energy to start all over so use the energy to get into a routine! You are already losing something so double down on the lie and make it a motivator to help you to keep it going!<br><br><br>I don't think that I will be able to get a 100 days steak, I lied about it and I was caught red handed but it was a funny journey and a great motivator! It also saves me a lot of stress and energy of getting close and failing it in the last moment. The 100 days steak is a myth and everybody knows it! You are not going to get it! Do you know why? Because you are not committed to Duolingo but you are committed to yourself!<br><br><br>For the people who are defending the importance of the longest steak, let me ask you, how is your steak going? That deep down shame and guilt to get close but not quite win the longest steak. How does it feel? It feels terrible and I'm the living proof of it! FOMO, stress and anxiety are all coming from the humility to say "I wasn't able to do it!" Don't lie to yourself! You know that you are not going to get it! You are just lying to yourself! Life is too short for that! Life is too short to be a Duolingo hater as well!<br><br><br>I'm a Duolingo abuser (I do 100 minutes a day) and I'm a FOMO liar and I'm not ashamed of it! I'm sorry if I hurt somebody by lying about it but I hope that you are going to be responsible about it and use it in your favor! I'm not lying to myself! I'm not going to lie to you or to myself anymore! I've been hurt in the past and I'm not going to let it happen again! So the next time I'm going to get close but not quite I can say it hurts but at least I'm committed to myself!<br><br><br>Try it and let me know how does it feel!
