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 used to catch as many Phish shows as I could in the ‘90s, mostly in NY, NJ, CT and MA. I made it to all three Maine festivals too, The Great Went, Lemonwheel, and It. I was so heartbroken that I wasn’t able to get off work to make it to their farewell show at Coventry in 2004. It turned out to be mostly inaccessible due to mud, and Trey was so deep into opiates they sounded awful. Out of all my friends that went, only one could even make it into the show. It cost him thousands in car repairs. I was grateful that my last show was a good one.
