Using Facebook is the online equivalent of staring at yourself in the mirror, according to a study.

Those who spent more time updating their profile on the social networking site were more likely to be narcissists, said researchers.

Facebook provides an ideal setting for narcissists to monitor their appearance and how many ‘friends’ they have, the study said, as it allows them to thrive on ‘shallow’ relationships while avoiding genuine warmth and empathy.

:D

I update my status almost daily yet I'm none of the dailyfail's pointers, heck I even deleted approx 30 people from Facebook who I don't talk to any more.

Yes, no, yes.

Well, two out of three isn't bad, I suppose! :)

Just a minor observation though - insecure and low self-esteem? Doesn't the former follow from the latter?
