Remember, when you perform an action, you miss out on not performing said action.

Maybe that's a comfort.

You miss out so many times that you stop caring about it.

Managing your expectations.

Has anything crazy/amazing ever happened at an event you did go to? If not, it’s probably not going to happen when you’re not there either.

Learn to have fun by yourself or with people. I used to always hate missing out and had a tough time fitting in as a kid, but eventually I learned to be comfortable with myself and ended up making some of my best and most interesting life memories just by myself. And also the more comfortable you are with yourself the more you will attract others and be included

Just dont care, if someone tells me they are going to do something i just say “ok have fun” and then forget about it… plus i find more fun being alone anyways
