Slashdot Mirror
Narcissists, Insecure People Flock To Facebook
Meshach writes "A study out of Canada claims that Facebook is a magnet for narcissists and people with low self-esteem. The theory is that these people use the site as a means of self promotion or to feel important."
You mean these people who used to (I deactivated my facebook account long ago) annoy the arse out of me with their childrens every bowel movement and that their workout was great are narcissists? And just want attention? I sense a book on facebook addiction and overcoming it coming out soon.
I can't wait to hear what they have to say about Slashdot.
"You're right," Fisheye says. "I should have set it on 'whip' or 'chop.'"
I'm a narcissistic low self-esteemer then, but not at the New Jersey Guido level though, I do not glow orange yet...
Tired of my customary (Score:1)
I just use it to play Farmville.
I found facebook as a great place to reconnect for the first time with girls that used to be pretty in high school, clinging to their pregnancy photos as though they were my own children, laughing with them.. printing them out and putting them on my fridge.. It's also a great place to have a decent, private conversation with your best friend's mom without him "getting all weird about this". A place for adults to communicate as they wish. A place for grownups.

You're so vain, you probably think this post is about you.
At least we know your sarcasometer is properly calibrated. :)
Their may be a grammatical error, misspeling, or evn a typo in this post.
RTFA. "The study doesn't go so far as to say that all heavy users of Facebook are narcissists or people with very low self-esteem"
"In fact," the researchers added, "we have reason to suspect that as many as a dozen FaceBook users are well-adjusted, mentally healthy, members of society."

If by "club" you mean Sarlac Pit, then I'm all for it!

there's probably an even larger group of users who are grandchildren. Grandchildren who, when trolling for sex on facebook, should probably remember that they have friended their grandparents... (And yes, studies confirm that 100% of facebook users are grandchildren of someone.)
I've abandoned my search for truth; now I'm just looking for some useful delusions.
So all we have to do is reduce the risk of death! We can live forever!
We should run a study just to be sure.
I think you mean Lexis-Nexis, but you'll definitely find more narcissists at the Lexus Nexus. All of them far too important to use a turn signal.
I dont give a shit, that is why I never bothered to make a login
I had a FaceBook account for a short while, then saw what other people were doing there (people I know), and decided not to be a part of the vacuous trumpeting that substitutes for interaction.
Fortunately, you'll find none of that in this forum!
