TWO COMMENTS A DAY KEEPS UNHAPPINESS AWAY

 

Just two Facebook comments a day over a month from close friends may improve a person’s feelings of well-being and satisfaction with life just as much as getting married or having a baby, a new study has claimed. But one-click feedback such as “likes” on Facebook does not have these positive effects.

“The content may be uplifting, and the mere act of communication reminds recipients of the meaningful relationships,” said Moira Burke, a research scientist at Facebook. Sixty comments from close friends in a month were linked to increases in users’ psychological well-being as large as those associated with major life events, the study found.

So next time when you want to tell your friend something on Facebook, do not hesitate to write a comment. You never know, maybe that one comment can boost up the hidden confidence in him or her or may give satisfaction to them.
