It means when everyone else that you know, or practically the whole world has seen the latest blockbuster movie, for example, or has the latest gizmo in technology, and you still have yet to experience this, people would say you're deprived. It basically means singled out against the rest of the world.
My friend would say this to me when I still had yet to see "Titanic" even once... so I don't feel like a deprived child. LOL!

When you deprive someone of something, you keep it from them. For example, if you are deprived of food, you are kept from getting food. If you are deprived of love, someone doesn't give you love, etc.
