Hey guys,

I was just wondering, what does everyone think about Facebook causing jealousy?

I've come to the recent conclusion that while I like keeping Facebook to stay in touch with family members and having new people that I meet from class or from work add me (without having to give them my phone number because I feel like that's more personal for me/it's more intimidating I feel like to text someone one on one than to send them a random Facebook message... I don't know.. ) and to view the new baby and engagement wedding pictures... I think it's a waste of time.

I guess this is because I'm realizing that people just post stuff on there to make themselves look good. Sometimes I think it's like they're trying to show off how they have such a "great" social life by posting pictures of themselves having fun or tagging their friends in statuses because they all went to see a movie... and then having people "like" them. Note that Facebook has no "eye roll" or "dislike" or "wtf" or "why are you telling me this" buttons. Everyone gets positive reinforcement for everything they post, even if it's kind of stupid and/or narcissistic.

I delete people from my mini-feed that I think post annoying things and also people who just seem to make me feel bad when I see their successes or their multiple parties or social hangouts... it's weird.. some people I feel find and I can celebrate when they're happy and things are going well for them.. and then other people... it just makes me feel like crap. Makes me feel like I'm a loser. I don't know.

What is everyone's opinions on this? How do you guys use Facebook? And how do you deal with jealousy?

And I know you're supposed to just focus on yourself instead of others.. but helpful advice would be welcomed too.

Sorry I went on a bit long! lol
