FoMO or Fear of Missing Out is the feeling of wanting to always be connected and not left behind with other people's activities. The FoMO phenomenon is a widespread phenomenon in society, especially among teenagers. This can be influenced by various factors, such as: self-concept and peer interaction. This study aims to explain the relationship between self-concept and peer interaction with FoMO levels in adolescents. This study uses a survey method. Data were analyzed using the Tau Kendall correlation test to measure the relationship between variables. The results showed that there was a positive relationship between self-concept and FoMO in adolescents with a correlation value of 0.14, and a p value of 0.003 showing that the two variables were significantly related. The analysis of the results of the study showed that there was a positive relationship between peer interaction and FoMO in adolescents of 0.29 with a p value of 0.000, showing that there was a significant relationship between the two variables. The results of this study show that self-concept and peer interaction are not fully related to the level of FoMO. A less positive self-concept becomes an evaluation for oneself rather than comparing it to others. Adolescents with a positive self-concept tend to experience FoMO, compared to adolescents who have a negative self-concept. Enough peer attachment cannot cause anxiety in adolescents. FoMO in adolescents focuses more on academic matters such as grades and achievements than entertainment or lifestyle.
