SZA says social media gives her FOMO.

SZA recently opened up about her struggles with anxiety and the fear of missing out on social media in a series of posts on Twitter, Friday. She explained people aren't taught to be happy and it's a process of self-learning.

“No one teaches you how to enjoy ur life," SZA began. "They teach you how to work for it. Desire it. Protect it. Fight tooth n nail for it. Pray for it. Imagine it. Manifest it .. how do u process all the things you’ve prayed for.” From there, she added: “I get anxious posting ab my life then get fomo watching other ppl post then experience way more life so there’s so much more to post and get anxious ab the volume of material then fomo again watching awesome posts then back to experiencing more magical life material I can’t post."
