PHA

Privileged Happiness Anxiety (PHA); the fear that someone you can't relate to is having fun depriving you of vicariously enjoying an experience. Differs from FOMO as the sufferer would be satisfied if someone else who looked like them or had similar background/group identity was doing the same thing.

"Man, Karen's been sour since Anika's gone on that trip. Think its FOMO or PHA?
