Facebook makes bad mood

Now it's official. A German study revealed that facebook causes bad mood. The reason for this are good news of your friends as they cause envy.
It happens mostly to passive Facebook users as they can see the happy things of their friends. They feel isolated, tired and sad because Facebook allows them to compare themselves much more.
One proof more that Facebook has changed our society.
