Facebook, as much friends, more problems!

Using Facebook can make people feel more confident, but a study by the University of Edinburgh suggests that this may also lead to higher levels of stress, when users add more people to their friendsin this social network.

The more that a user adds to people in social circle - friends, relatives, co-workers, class mates - more likely that the same be made uncomfortable.

The study analyzed more than 300 feelings Facebook users, with an average age of 21 years. The researchers found that almost 55 percent of parents attend their children on Facebook. In addition, more than half of employers say they have not hired someone based on the content posted on Facebook.

When users post content that may be acceptable for some social, but not for another (for example, friends of the school can be like a picture of a crazy party where you've been, do not expect your parents or employers feel the same), and this raises the level of stress, as people try to present a pleasing personality for all their friends and connections on Facebook.
