Feeling down about your life? One quick way to cheer yourself up may be to delete your accounts on social networking sites, Daily Mail reported.
New research indicates that the more people use the social networking website, the more they will believe that others are much happier.
The study by Utah Valley University found that the carefully-chosen pictures of smiling, cheerful faces which social networking website users tend to plaster over their pages cumulatively convey a debilitating message to others. It can make people jealous of each others' lives.
This was particularly true of social networking website users who stockpiled "friends" they did not actually know.
Those who had used social networking website for longer were also significantly likely to agree with the statement that "life is unfair." |
