To Miss

I have heard "to miss" said as "perder" in many instances; for example:

Lamento haber perdido tu llamada.

Lamento haber perdido la oportunidad.

But I have also heard "perderse" used in other instances; for example:

Lamento haberme perdido la fiesta.

Lamento haberme perdido la conferencia.

I know there are other ways to convey the verb "to miss," but if I use a form of "perder," which is the first verb that comes to my mind, when is perder used and when is perderse used?

I'm already familiar with: No te lo pierdas, meaning to miss out on something, so that concept is not a problem.

Explanations and examples are appreciated.
