Discussion FOMO or Nostalgia

[USL]

I've noticed this tread on the internet and real life where people cling to a fade, community, or thing well after its peak and was wondering if there is a term for it. Like when you join something after its peak and cling to it in hopes of being part of that long past pinnacle. The soysphere is one of the few things I got to be a part of from the beginning, so I don't really get that feeling here. However, I know most 'teens do have this "feeling" when it comes to the soysphere. I guess I had that feeling on 4cuck when I was browsing places like the qway and 2016 /pol/. Is this just a byproduct of not being a trend setter? I guess to some extent, most people feel this way about most things. Most people only follow trends, and no one is a setter of every trend they are a part of... What do you think?

I guess a holdout? THOUGH you'd still have to add qualifiers to it.

But wouldn't a holdout be someone who was there for its peak relevance?

Not necessarily, it's ambiguous so you have to add a qualifier. I mean I'm ESL so maybe there is a word for it and I just don't know it.

I definitely feel this way about the soysphere, I’m a nusoicaca through and through.

It’s a similar feeling I have when I think of my country, how it’s way past its prime, how it may just be on its last legs and how I may live up to its history.

It’s more like a mix of melancholy, admiration and I'd even say a bit of despondency rather than an emotion by itself.

As cliche as it is always follow your heart and do what you enjoy instead of trying to cling onto an ideal of something that will never live up to it again, there is only bitterness on that path.

I think we can all agree that is easier said than done.

I mean with your country, yeah. But generally, if you start getting angry about something and there is no realistic way to change it, it's time to disengage and look for something new. I don't think that's too hard, just requires a bit of introspection.

There is no disengaging from your heritage, whether you like it or not. There is no other place for you in this world.

You can focus on things you can change, like improving your own life and the lives of those close to you and find joy in that. No amount of raging against the machine will fix anything, not unless the majority of people living in your country see things your way and want the same changes as you do. All you can do is hope and pray, if that's your thing.
