Those who are most susceptible to FOMO are the social extroverts who thrive on group energy. It can also impact those who lack self-confidence and security within themselves. Individuals who haven’t had mentors to show them that it is okay to blaze one’s own path--and that this actually can be very satisfying--are also more prone to FOMO. At its root, FOMO can be a lack of self-awareness about what one values and a lack of intentionality in one’s life. Those lacking in self-worth and without an internal sense of security are most often looking to others to measure their own worth. When someone needs social approval to feel reassured about themselves, FOMO can hit hard. A person who takes time to self-reflect and is very intentional in living according to her or his own purpose is generally more content, and less apt to measure him or herself against others.
