The grass is always greener...or is it bluer on Facebook?

Don't compare yourself to others, usually you only see others successes...you know ever part of your own life, but won't necessarily get hung up on others (sometimes unseen) failures.

The same principle applies to Facebook:

First of all, we hand-pick our Facebook statuses and pictures to make us into the best versions of ourselves. (Duh.) Second, looking at the similarly idealized spread of our friends' lives can make us depressed, simply because we tend to think that everyone ismore happy than us. The study's director, Alex Jordan, told Slate, "[The subjects] were convinced that everyone else was leading a perfect life." In the three-part study, participants first reported that they hid their negative emotions more than their positive ones, because they underestimated how distressed their peers were. Though acknowledging they kept their sad feelings at bay, the third study investigated the correlation between how happy a subject perceived her peers to be and how unhappy that made them. Misery, it appears, doesn't like company as much as once thought.

Get off FB. Let others envy you digitally and in real life. Be a little mysterious and not so obviously happy...That's classy.
