Study: Staying off Facebook can make you happier
Agh, this thread is just full of people boasting about their immunity to interest in Facebook. Congratulations, you&#x27;re fantastic, oh that we could all be as enlightened as you.<p>Personally, I find that Facebook has become my address book - while I still text people I see every day, Messenger group chats are often used instead. Plus the voice and video calls have been a great way to keep up with people further afield. Yes, Skype exists, but Facebook is easier - which is huge with older relatives.<p><i>That said</i>, this study doesn&#x27;t surprise me. In terms of public posts everyone projects their &quot;best life&quot;, so you&#x27;re browsing through a catalogue of amazing experiences while you sit at home feeling a little fat.<p>I&#x27;m not sure what the answer to that is. Some say Snapchat is a much better place for people to be their true selves - I can believe it.
