Which social network bums us out the most?


If you’re sick and tired of seeing happy Facebook friends on vacation, don’t check Instagram. 

Social media magazine Slate has dubbed it the most depressing network out there. In their survey, users ranked Instagram as the best place to check if you’d like to feel jealous or just plain disgusted. Those who checked Instagram rated their levels of envy, resentment and even anger higher after the fact.

Facebook is still the place to be for those who would rather feel isolated or left out. Another recent study found that one in three people feel worse after checking that site and that their general dissatisfaction with life had increased. Those who check Facebook without contributing were the saddest of the bunch.
