Opposite of the “fear of missing out” (FOMO), the “joy of missing out” (JOMO) embraces missing various opportunities, perhaps by coming to terms with all the “missed opportunities” that often exist in day to day life which can cause anxiety for some people.
Has anyone felt this or have thoughts on the concept?
I wasn’t part of any conversations at the end of a work meeting, so I left promptly to head down to the catered lunch. I ended up almost first in line and got best pick of food options. I sat alone while I ate and waited for others to get their food. That meant being able to finish without being asked a question with my mouth full. Then colleagues joined me, and I could converse with them while they ate. Much more relaxing.
