I did not hear about FOMO up until 2 years ago, and when I had it explained to me I was shocked. I had felt it before but never really thought much about it. As a young kid when your parents tell you, you can’t stay the night at your friends you get upset and it usually ends there. Now as an adult if you can not go to an event or a party for some reason, you have to see everyone you know there and see how much fun they are having. I believe everyone has probably felt fomo at least a couple of times and not even know why the feeling is there.
