Facebook truly embodies the meaning of the word "frenemy."
Although Facebook is meant to help us "stay connected," researchers from Edinburgh Napier University in Scotland concluded in a recent study that the more friends a user has, the more social anxiety that person experiences, according to a Feb. 21 article from the Dallas Business Journal.
"We found it was actually those with the most contacts, those who had invested the most time in the site, who were the ones most likely to be stressed," lead researcher Dr. Kathy Charles said in the article.
