From a psychological perspective, let me tell you why 'missing out is 100 times more painful than being trapped in a loss'.
It’s very simple, because being trapped in a loss comes with 'hope'.
In a person's mind, hope is incredibly important. As long as you have hope, you will have confidence. As long as you have confidence, you can endure all kinds of suffering. No matter how much you are losing, you can get through it.
But missing out is not the same.
Missing out is completely hopeless. 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?
In your mind, the extent of the rise should be the 'profit that you should have' but didn’t obtain; do you know what kind of heart-wrenching pain that is?
You will always think, if I had it, how much money I could have, what I could buy. Unfortunately, I don’t have it, I can only watch the people around me ecstatic. This kind of pain is a hopeless pain; if you are not involved, who can understand it?
Among them, the most painful is definitely those who sold out at the bottom. These people cannot recover in ten years. Sigh---it’s so hard.
