People don’t use Facebook to share the sadness of their lives, but the happiness and all the positive things. Researchers thinks that the more people browse through their feeds, comments and like, the more likely they are to feel unhappy.

“Given the public nature of these sites, people end up reporting a lot of the positive things going on in their lives, and a user of Facebook might end up with a biased impression of other people’s lives,” said Oscar Ybarra, a psychologist at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. “So, they might feel sub-par compared to their friends and all the wonderful things their friends are doing.” (Discovery News).
