Witnessing friends' vacations, love lives and work
successes on Facebook can cause envy and trigger feelings of misery and
loneliness, according to German researchers.
A study conducted jointly by two German universities found rampant
envy on Facebook, the world's largest social network that now has over
one billion users and has produced an unprecedented platform for social
comparison.
The researchers found that one in three people felt worse after
visiting the site and more dissatisfied with their lives, while people
who browsed without contributing were affected the most.
