Which is it?
FOMO
fear
of
missing
out
JOMO
joy
of
missing
out
Pre-social media, when you didn’t get invited to a Saturday night party, you might have heard about it Monday morning at school. The sting wouldn’t be as severe.
Now the event is broadcast in near real-time. This amps up pressure on everyone to be at the right place, at the right time, with the right people, doing the right things, wearing the right clothes.
It is exhausting & pointless.
There is joy of missing out. Re-frame your outlook.
