Facebook Envy

Those friends on Facebook sure are having a great time. Or are they?

Are your Facebook friends all out having a great time without you? According to a recent study from Stanford University – our perceptions may be off a bit. It’s simple envy. We notice the smiling faces and good stuff first and chances are we are trapped at work or home when we see them.

In the study, college freshmen were asked to rate their perception of their peers. They overestimated the good times – underestimated the bad times – and generally felt worse about their own lives in comparison.
