In Need Of Some Alone Time? More And More People Are Finding How Empowering It Is To Let Go Of Needing To Be In The Know.
Whether it’s that twinge of regret when you see a picture on Instagram of your friends having a blast at that dinner you ditched, or a niggling suspicion that shunning a workmate’s housewarming lost you some valuable bonding time with your colleagues, we all know about the infamous FOMO (fear of missing out).
But these days, there’s another player in the game, and it’s not only the polar opposite of its better-known four-letter counterpart, it’s also being hailed as the answer to managing stress and easing anxiety. Joy of missing out, or JOMO, is all about savouring some solitude without caring what everyone else is doing. It’s turning down invites and avoiding get-togethers without the worry of social demerit points. It’s about switching off from social media, unplugging from the world and learning to be at peace with your own company. And more and more of us want in.
