Someone described Facebook as the “best of” a life – a highlight reel. And, while it’s great to share life’s successes, it is also important to stay grounded in reality. So, how can you keep from experiencing negative Facebook emotions ? First, don’t believe the hype. Life is not just the good times, but the tough times as well – and everyone has them whether they reveal them or not. Second, share in others’ joy. While your life may not be so rosy right now, you’ll want the well-wishes when it’s your turn. Third, take a step back. If Facebook is affecting how you feel about yourself, it’s time to take a break.
Tomorrow we'll discuss how to use Facebook as a positive platform .
