A study showed that those who hadn't been on Facebook for a week
said they were more satisfied with their lives, with 88 per cent of them
describing themselves as happy. The research carried out by the Happiness Research Institute, the study involved a
sample of 1,095 people who were divided into two groups, half
of whom continued using Facebook while the others stopped.
"We
focused on Facebook because it is the social media that most people use
across age groups," Meik Wiking, HRI's chief executive told AFP Tuesday.After a week, those people who
hadn't been on Facebook said they were more satisfied with their lives,
with 88 per cent of them describing themselves as "happy" compared with
81 per cent from the second group.
At the end
of the experiment, the abstainers reported having a richer social life
and fewer difficulties in concentrating, while the others reported no
such change.
"Instead of focusing on what we actually need, we
have an unfortunate tendency to focus on what other people have," In other words, Facebook users are 39
percent more likely to feel less happy than non-users.

ReplyDeleteSo true, people only post their joy and achievements on Facebook, for instance, someone that have been looking for job for four suddenly see the most dullard person in his class posting about being the chief executive officer of nnpc, or someone that have been looking for fruit of womb suddenly see the post of a girl that just got married, saying wow we are about to become parents, among others, but if the someone is off Facebook he or she will avoid triggers and focus on his God.
