Why is missing out worse than being stuck in a loss?
From a psychological perspective, it's quite simple: because in a person's mind, being stuck at least holds some hope. Hope is incredibly important; as long as you have hope, you can endure any hardship. No matter how much you're losing, you can grit your teeth and persevere. However, missing out is different; missing out is devoid of hope. You have no chips in hand, what hope do you have? You can only hope for a decline; but what if it doesn’t decline? Then you can only feel anxious.
After all, in your mind, you believe that the amount of increase should be your profit. What should have been yours, you did not obtain. Do you know what that kind of pain feels like, tearing at your heart?
You will always think, if I had gone all in, I could have made so much money, I could have bought this and that. Unfortunately, I didn't, and I can only watch those around me filled with joy.
This kind of pain, the pain of having no hope, who but the person involved can truly understand?
