It might be good to join some in-person community to replace YouTube FOMO with real-life FOMO. I don't care personally about YouTube happenings because I don't know the people and have no reason to know them, unlike my friends in a cappella.

Ultimately I think it's about self-confidence, but converting parasocial FOMO to real-life FOMO can be a useful intermediate step.
