JOMO: Can missing out lead to joy?

from The Lab DoctoRs Hosted by The Lab DoctoRs

Tired of the constant FOMO? It may be time to ditch that fear embrace JOMO, or the joy of missing out. In this week’s episode, we discuss whether JOMO is linked to certain factors like social media use, loneliness, depression, anxiety, and even personality types. Discover how disconnecting can be the solution, and learn practical ways to cultivate this joy in your day-to-day life. TLDR: JOMO, or the joy of missing out, does not imply a steady state, rather it represents the enjoyment found in momentary periods of disconnecting from others or societal demands.
