Facebook makes people now officially and scientifically-proven unhappy.
The study claims that feelings of loneliness, jealousy and self-doubt are being experienced to a very high percentage. No news. That means the majority feels terrible but keeps “liking” until they hate themselves.
Of course Fb’s representation of reality undermines the complexity of life severely. While certain feelings are being promoted and ready to be “shared“ others have to stay in the cupboard, bad bad feelings!! The courage to invite others behind the facade is threatening and unwelcome. Images work in their manipulation and confirmation seems to be only a click away. On top of that we become pleasing and conformed. The perfect product for facebook’s clients.
