Fear of the mystery of missing out.
This is basically extreme FOMO. It’s when you're afraid of missing out, not because of what you see on social media, but because you’ve lost your phone, or it’s out of battery, and you can’t see what everyone’s doing. Suddenly your imagination runs wild! In your mind, they’re all having the best time without you. In reality though, they’re all at home watching Netflix.
Stands for the Fear Of the Mystery Of Missing Out. FOMOMO refers to a more extreme case of FOMO that occurs when one's mobile device is unusable, resulting in angst caused by the inability to see what one is missing out on on social media. Deprived of seeing friends’ social media posts, one may automatically assume that those on your social media feed are having a better time than you.
