A disorder that Norman "Nick" suffers from. He cannot miss out on anything or it will just continuously eat at him forever. He will try to go to any extent to ensure that he does not miss out on anything because he doesn't want to be the one person who wasn't there.
Norman "Nick" initially said he wasn't gonna come to LFK last weekend but after his roommates left, he got hit with mad FOMO and decided to say "F my chem test" and just leave at 8 pm that same night to not miss out.
