Facebook Usage and its Side Effects

The more someone uses Facebook, the less satisfied he is with life, is the conclusion of a study published by the Public Library of Science, conducted by Ethan Kross. Past investigations have found that using Facebook is associated with jealousy, social tension, isolation and depression.


I think the biggest reason why an individual will have feelings of jealousy, social tension, isolation and depression or less satisfied with one's life is because they do not have the purpose and drive that gives focus and meaning in their lives. added that with continues update of how great and wonderful life is for their Facebook friends, it leads to negative feelings.

Therefore, my conclusion is: if you don't have a purpose and drive in your own life, if you not less begrudging, and if you don't differentiate counterfeit or real of your Facebook friends’ successes, then the use of Facebook will make you: the more you use it, the less you will be satisfied with your life; it will lead to jealousy, social tension, isolation and depression.
