EmailStudy: Social Media Increases Anxiety, Feelings of Inadequacy
Social networks like Facebook and Twitter make people feel inadequate and increase their anxiety, according to a study of about 300 people by the University of Salford in England.
More than half the people surveyed said the sites changed their behavior for the worse. Many said their confidence fell when comparing their achievements to others.
The Telegraph newspaper reports 55 percent of people in the study felt worried or uncomfortable when they couldn’t access Facebook.
