Is the difference that loss aversion is just aversion to any kind of loss and a hesitancy to take part, whereas myopic loss aversion is following the trends in the market (buying high and selling low)?
 
Loss aversion is a generic phrase for what every investor exhibits - you’d rather not lose money, all else equal.
Myopic loss aversion is concerning oneself more with short-term losses than with the “big picture” of a long-term planning strategy, which will have periods of loss(es).
 
Another way to say it would be that myopic loss aversion makes investors more conservative than their risk profile would warrant.
I totally just made that wording up, but I actually kinda like it.
 
Myopia - a vision condition. Those with myopia see near objects clearly but far away objects appear blurred.
 
Myopic loss aversion is the combination of a greater sensitivity to losses than to gains and a tendency of people to evaluate outcomes more frequently even if they have long-term investment goals.
Myopic loss aversion occurs when the shorter term risk of stocks incorrectly leads to an excessively high equity risk premiums in the market.
