The Psychology of FOMO with Dr. Michael Bernstein

Season 1 · Episode 7

Monday, May 4, 2026 • Duration 59:58

Why does being left out feel so personal? Why can ghosting or exclusion stick with us so deeply? And what is the real difference between social exclusion, loneliness, rejection, and FOMO?

We sat down with social psychologist Dr. Michael Bernstein to unpack the science of belonging and what happens when that belonging feels threatened. We explored why humans are wired for connection, how exclusion shapes the way we think and behave, why social pain can feel surprisingly similar to physical pain, and how social media can intensify the fear of missing out.

We also break down the difference between being directly rejected and being ignored, why ambiguity can be so hard to process, and what we can do to cope when exclusion shows up in everyday life.

Whether you’ve felt left out by friends, overlooked in a group, ghosted, or caught in a comparison spiral online, this episode is for you.

In this episode, we cover:

What psychologists mean by social exclusion
The difference between exclusion, rejection, loneliness, and FOMO
Why humans are so sensitive to belonging threats
How rejection changes attention, memory, and social perception
Why social pain can feel physically painful
The impact of social media on FOMO and connection
Ghosting vs direct rejection
Small ways to help others feel included
Why feeling left out is more common than most people think

About our guest

Dr. Michael Bernstein is a social psychologist whose research focuses on social exclusion, ostracism, person perception, stereotyping, and how social experiences shape human behavior, cognition, and health.
