Do you
think that having a lot of Facebook friends
is a good idea? On the contrary. Scientists claim that the more Fecebook friends you have, the worse
you will feel. How is this even possible?
A group of
scientists from the University of Edinburgh
Napier conducted a research on 175 students and asked them questions
related to FB. Dr Kathy
Charles, one of the scientists, claims that people with many Faceboook friends are more stressed. It
is because our behavior and look are judged by a greater number of people.
As many as 12% of respondents admitted that
they feel uneasy about this fact and these were persons who had on average 117 Facebook friends. Interestingly, people
with approximately 75 FB friends did
not feel this way.
The problem
might be the communication with our friends. These are different sorts of
people to whom we must adjust our posts and it is not easy. We also should not
invite our boss to our friends on Facebook, because we would have to be
careful what we write. There were cases when somebody was fired because of a
comment about their jobs or bosses.
These days we have a lot of causes of stress
and therefore we should not stress about our Facebook friends. Maybe it’s high time to „clean” our Facebook friends list.
