I really hate when people are talking about these, it's like a big FOMO of YOLO, and is often used for telling (sometimes selling) you what to do in indirect forcing way. Lots of people won't have chances or conditions that let them do what you tell them to do. There should be another way to encourage people to improve their quality of life without saying they will regret if they don't have chances.
- JKCalhoun 5y agoRegret works very well for me actually. FOMO is such a strange "word". I'm not quite sure why it has such a negative connotation. Fear of missing out on ... some 70's-band reunion concert? Yeah, that's vapid. Fear of missing out on ... a life worth having lived. For many of us that sort of is the point of life. No shame in trying to find out what that is.
- Existenceblinks 5y agoFear "word" is generally negative. Even more negative when someone else puts it on someone and makes them miserable .. "If I can do, you can do too" is more ok-ish (despite of slightly cliche) than "you should do this and that otherwise when you die you will die miserably)
