Summary | Studies have shown that looking at other people's posts on Facebook can increase feelings of envy and be otherwise bad for one's mental health. Especially 'lurking' on Facebook, so not actually interacting with anyone on the platform but just looking at the content can be detrimental to one's emotional state and cause unrealistic standards which result in disappointment with one's own life.
