I was reading an issue of Teen Vogue and I came over an article "Facebook Narcissism". It said that a recent study of college students showed that nearly 60% agreed that "People in my generation use social networking sites for self-promotion, narcissism, and attention-seeking."
A girl from California says she has friends who post everyday or so and then a friend who spends all her free time on Facebook posting pictures every day and asking friends to comment them.
The article talkes about how some people have +1,000 friends that they don't even know but with the more friends they have, the better they feel about themselves.
Researchers are questioning if it's emotionally healthy to spend so much time talking about life in such detail. Also by being on networking sites so much, it could lead to an 'inflated state of self'. "If people 'like' your status or comment a lot, your self-esteem gooes up." Says Julie from Chicago.
There's a show of Narcissism on facebook from the people who have so many pictures of themselves on Facebook.
People from jobs/colleges/etc. Check facebook and can tell that if you're a narcissist that you'll have a difficult time maintaining relationships and working with groups.
