Find Out How Too Many Facebook Friends Can Become a Source of Stress to You

Who knew that Facebook would cause people more stress? Well, according
to a new study, apparently it is.
Scottish researchers say that the more Facebook friends a person has,
the more likely social media can become a source of stress. The more
groups of people in someone's Facebook friends, researchers at the
University of Edinburgh Business School reported, the greater the
potential to cause offense, particularly if employers or parents are
included. Stress rises when users present a version of themselves on
Facebook that is unacceptable to some of their online "friends," the
researchers said. Some 55 percent of parents follow their children on
Facebook, they said, while more than half of employers have admitted
to not hiring someone based on the applicant's Facebook page.
"Facebook used to be like a great party for all your friends where you
can dance, drink and flirt," Edinburgh researcher Ben Marder said.
"But now with your Mum, Dad and boss there, the party becomes an
anxious event full of potential social landmines."
