It's a skill and to some it comes naturally, and some develop it. How your particular group of friends uses facebook is also important. If your group is active and uses it often, you both feel the need to do the same, and at the same time, get much more feedback from your friends. If your friends check once a week or once a month, then even if you are post great things, you won't get feedback. I believe that there was a lot more pressure to post and"collect" friends a few years ago. Now, it's relaxed some what, and people are figuring out what it means to them and how the choose to utilize it. I<br /><br />t seems like a very complex phenomenon to study as it is so multilayered. Sounds like psychologist have a whole new field, the psychology of social media, within psychology. Smadarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09765946753514711483noreply@blogger.com
