‘Just trying to fit in’

Hello, everyone,

‘Just trying to fit in’

Another driver of FOMO(Fear Of Missing Out) is the social pressure to be at the right place with the right people, whether it’s from a sense of duty or just trying to get ahead, we feel obligated to attend certain event for work, for family and for friends. This pressure from society combined with the fear of missing out (FOMO) can wear us down and can decrease our happiness. According to a recent survey on LinkedIn, 70 percent of employees admit that when they take a vacation, they stay don't disconnect from work. . . .

Since I guess the first sentence underlined is grammatically incorrect with no conjunction, I think this problem could be improved by one of following ways;

  1. (With) another driver of FOMO (being) the social pressure . . .
  2. ~ ahead, obligating us to attend certain events ~
  3. ~ ahead, which obligates us to attend certain events ~

I would appreciate your kind comment, if I’m mistaken.

It's a simple matter of a comma splice (putting a comma where there should be a period).
