FOMO

The concept of missing out implies that whatever is happening right now will never come back.

This opportunity will never come back.

Fear comes from a place of scarcity. FOMO specifically, comes from a frame of scarcity of opportunities.

This opportunity will never come back, and there might never be another one.

However this is seldom true in practice.

There is always another job.

There is always another impression.

Another laughter.

Another love.

Another opportunity.
