“Fear of missing out” is used to explain why people use social media items they don’t need nor want. But marriage is an example too.

I know there is wholesome cases where people want to start a family with other people they like to spend time with.

But a lot of the times it was also “Hey I am of the age my siblings and friends got married. I should meet people with the sole goal of marrying them and raising children.”
