JOMO (Joy Of Missing Out)

What is JOMO?

JOMO, or the Joy Of Missing Out, is the feeling of contentment and satisfaction derived from *not* participating in social events or trends. It’s the opposite of FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) and represents a conscious choice to prioritize personal well-being and activities over external pressures to constantly be connected or engaged. Examples include choosing a quiet night at home over a loud party or opting for a relaxing hobby instead of attending a crowded event. JOMO is often associated with mindfulness and intentional living.
