Have you ever felt more tired than relaxed after a vacation? These days, travel can seem like a race. People try to visit as many places as possible, take lots of photos, and share everything online. This pressure often comes from FOMO, or the fear of missing out. The term was coined in 2004 to describe the worry people feel when they think they’re missing out on fun events, exciting experiences, or important moments in life. With social media, FOMO has become even stronger. People constantly see others enjoying amazing trips and sharing their lives, which makes them feel they need to keep up. However, some travelers prefer JOMO, or the joy of missing out, which is the opposite of FOMO.
你是否有度假回来后，比起放松反而感到更加疲惫的经验？如今，旅游感觉就像一场竞赛。人们试图造访尽可能多的景点、拍摄大量照片，并将一切分享到网路上。这种压力往往来自错失恐惧症（FOMO），也就是对于错失机会的恐惧。该词于 2004 年被创造出来，用来描述人们在觉得自己错失参与有趣的活动、刺激的体验或人生的重要时刻时所感到的担忧。有了社群媒体之后，错失恐惧症变得更加泛滥。人们不断看到他人享受精彩旅行与分享生活片段，这让他们觉得自己必须跟上脚步。然而，有些旅客则偏好错失的乐趣（JOMO），它是与错失恐惧症相反的概念。
