was surprising to read that psychologists are suggesting that Facebook fuels insecurities. The main groups that this would affect is women and addicts. It was interesting that subconsciously some women compare their self worth to how many friends they have on Facebook. Even a rejected or prolonged friend request can affect them tremendously. The part that didn't surprise me was that they would put up proactive pictures in order to get more friends, but not only women and addicts can do that. That is what needs to be realized about Facebook, or any social site. People never put up pictures they don't look attractive in, even if they don't look like that every day. Before reading that post, I never knew that some people would read into friend requests and accepts so deeply, to the point of proving self worth. Facebook wasn't meant to help people fee better about themselves, or tear themselves down. Facebook is just a social network meant to keep friends in contact that they wouldn't normally be able to do but it's unfortunate it can hurt some people.
