Heavy Facebook Users Are Narcissistic and Insecure

People who can't stop logging onto Facebook are narcissistic, insecure and suffer from low self-esteem.

Researchers from York University quizzed 100 students between the ages of 18 and 25 on how often they checked out Facebook. The students also took a psychological test that measured their level of narcissism. The York team found that the more a person clicked onto their own Facebook page, the higher they scored for narcissism.

The same test revealed that those who can't get enough of Facebook also suffer from insecurity and low-self esteem, which are traits often tied to narcissism.

The problem here is Facebook is just too damn self-affirming. We're pretty sure that if they finally added a universal "dislike" button, Facebook would cease to be such a cyber-swamp for narcissistic/insecure types.

Just more reasons to stop facebooking. I deactivated my account on May 15th 2010 and I will be re-activating it after exams...or when I feel like it.

If I were to master my drawing skills just like the sketches above, I would love to start my own tumblr on fashion sketching. Maybe in my past life, I was an artist. I've won four awards in drawing competitions (3 2nd place, 1 3rd place) in my childhood years. My chinese school teacher offered me drawing classes and I aced Art. Hehe, drawing is one of my favourite past times. Can't wait to get back to it in the summer.

I couldn't help re-read the timetable for the last day of school and relieve the feelings when I read my timetable for the first day of highschool. Six years have passed so soon, I wonder what the next six will bring for me? I do hope I have a career in Neurology though, and a handsome partner to come along with too. From the moment you pinned your XII badge on your uniform to signing the forms for allowing your ATAR to be published, you know that your time at highschool is nearly over. In the adult future though, highschool will seem to be a small proportion of your entire life span so far. Even your ATAR score won't be the talk of everyone by then. It'll be your income instead.

Why can't we measure our success whether intelligence or wealth on happiness instead? This year has broken many students down in tears, distress and utter dissapointment. You feel compressed, the weight on your shoulders is incredible. Broken down psychologically and physically by the sleepless nights, this was VCE for me and I'm tired. Everyone is. Down to our final weeks now and I'm left with regrets, so how could I face Jp in the eye and say that everything is okay right now? I've been made to feel that four digits will determine the prospect of your whole future. I've let it consume me, restrict my happiness and hope within myself.

I can't dwell on the past for too long, we all have to learn from our mistakes and focus on achieving the best possible marks on our exams. We have to keep trying, it is not complete failure if we haven't tried. Giving up is the worst thing you can do. Decemeber will be daunting.

"So you're just going to ignore him for a whole month?"

"Yeah.

...but he comes back"

jp asked me if I was okay today.

I couldn't look her in the eye. I am not okay.

:(

i'm angry at myself, i regret not loving jp more

i am a horrible wife who doesn't appreciate jp's support towards me. i never let him do anything he wants because i am a totalitarian figure in her life.

i have an unhealthy force to destroy all humanity.

2+2 = 5
