There are feelings of loneliness, frustration and anger, with the biggest cause of dissatisfaction jealousy for holiday photos which are published on this social network.

Research 'on Facebook Jealousy: The Hidden Threat to life satisfaction' has shown that passive monitoring of other users on the Zuckerberg network provokes feelings of jealousy towards the happiness of other people and the way they spend their time and socialize, which "undermine life satisfaction" and users leave or reduce the time they spend Facebook.

Because of jealousy at the success of others, some users in the network boasts over their own lives and successes of trying to show in the best possible light in order to show that they enjoy life, not just their friends that follow on this network where men usually publish content which highlight some of life's successes, while women mostly prefer to boast of (good) looks and rich social lives.

Given the results of this research show that a large number of users experiencing Facebook as extremely stressful environment, researchers believe that this discontent that stirs the Facebook users could affect the long-term viability of these platforms.
