Related to FOMO is the impulse to hold out for something better—call it an “OBO lifestyle.” The one that got away might also have been the one we disregarded. Something better could come along; committing now would preclude it. But the “or better offer” isn’t just what might come. It’s the countless offers we’ve already missed. To presume something better could come along implies a life that has never been good enough.
