If one look at your Facebook page tells you everyone else's life seems more exciting and happier than yours, you are experiencing Facebook Syndrome. Social media has a direct bearing on how we feel about ourselves, according to a new study of 79 undergraduate students who discovered being denied the use of Facebook or receiving fewer "likes" and "comments" had a direct bearing on the participants' self-esteem and feeling of "meaningful existence." Do you feel stressed, anxious, or have negative thoughts about yourself after using social media? Take steps to detach from Facebook's assault. Even creator Mark Zuckerburg didn't mean for his invention to be a way of life--it is only supposed to be a utility. Do not use social media as a time filler, a way to validate your life's worth, or to prove how much happier others are than you. Realize most people do not post negative information, and as a result you're exposed to a selective set of information, which warps your perception. Step back from the screen and invest in real relationships --the 3-D kind that you can see and feel.
