A RESEARCH conducted by German universities found a serious problem in the use of Facebook which is increasing tension and depression among the users.

Who got the job? Who is successful in his love life? Who is going on vacation? How social are you? There are how many likes and comments on your posts and photos as compared to others?

All these facts cause feelings of envy, jealousy, hate, loneliness and misery. The research conducted shows that out of three Facebook users one is suffering from these feelings.

To cope up with this feeling, men post more self-promotional content on the Facebook to let users know about their success, while women stressed their good looks and social lives.

Broadly speaking, it is nothing but a waste of time and money with a gift of details described above.
