It’s the season for weddings, and you must see many of your friends and cousins joining the bride or groom squad. Well, this is inevitable. And the feeling of FOMO or fear of missing out in all the singles out there is also bound to exist. This just comes as a wave of emotions for some, but others may keep sinking into this feeling. Of course, it can be overwhelming to keep going to weddings, answering the same question of "Shaadi kab karoge beta?" and eating Shaadi ka khana all by yourself. But don’t worry! Today, we will discuss seven effective ways to get rid of FOMO during the wedding season if you are still single.

Focus on yourselfInstead of cribbing about not having a life partner, it’s better to focus on yourself. Focus on your life goals, what you want to do. Sometimes, you may feel that getting married is what you want to do. But, honestly, if you divert your mind, there is a lot more that you are hiding behind the walls of your mind.

Aahana Chaudhary, 24, Noida, says, "Being a woman in my mid-20s, what I’ve realised is that we live in a fast-paced society where there is often little time to accomplish everything that matters to us while also meeting societal expectations. Marriage is one of those expectations. However, what I have realized personally is that FOMO arises when we lack clarity about our goals. When we have a clear life plan knowing when to focus on our career and family, and when to start a new chapter, it makes events like wedding season less overwhelming. Ultimately, a little patience goes a long way."
