Research performed by psychologists from Edinburgh Napier University indicated Facebook adds stress to users’ lives. Causes of stress included fear of missing important social information, fear of offending contacts, discomfort or guilt from rejecting user requests or deleting unwanted contacts, the pressure to be entertaining, and having to use appropriate etiquette for different types of friends. Many people who started using Facebook for positive purposes have found that the website has negatively impacted their actual lives.
