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.

I'm being 100% serious when I say this: I am all of the above. Yet it's the fail, so I don't think it's right to generalise for 500million people

 

[Gackt]

What a load of crock.

 

[neoboy]

Never knew their generalising brush was that big!

 

[THMRK]

500 million people can't be wrong!

 

[leaskovski]

Yeah, All of those apply to me. Im 31, fail at relationships, Awesome at my job, but fail in life....

Someone runme down please and save me from this failure.

 

[olivier renault]

It's the daily mail. It's like the daily mash without the irony.

 

[peterattheboro]

I agree with that. The amount of ****wits I have on my friends list who are shallow and need reassurance is unreal!

(I need said ****wits on my friends list to make me look popular! )

 

[mrk]

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.

 

[leaskovski]

Can you add me as a friend, you sound the hippist of the hip.

 

[mrk]

Who me?

Depends onw hat sexual favours you're willing to give to azab350's porker.

 

[Cosimo]

Judging my what I’ve seen they’re dead right.

 

[Berserker]

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?

 

[ginger_pat]
