Using Facebook is the online equivalent of staring at yourself in the mirror, according to a study.

Those who spent more time updating their profile on the social networking site were more likely to be narcissists, said researchers.

Facebook provides an ideal setting for narcissists to monitor their appearance and how many ‘friends’ they have, the study said, as it allows them to thrive on ‘shallow’ relationships while avoiding genuine warmth and empathy.

I've noticed that people who take themselves too seriously usually have profile pictures with just themselves. Look at HCP for example.

I like facebook. I rarely spend more than 4 hours a day on the site.

Self esteem issues? No. Problems with the ability to type complete and lucid sentences? Yes.

Absolutely. In some strange way, they tend to help massage my insecure, narcissistic, and low self-esteem shortcomings.
