Facebook is
ruining all of our lives.
Okay, so
that's not completely true, but a new study from the cheerily-named Happiness Research Institute suggests that staying off Facebook can actually make you happier.
This study surveyed
1,095 people in Denmark -- so, for what it's worth, maybe Facebook is just ruining the lives of Danish people. The sample group, comprised of individuals who were an
average age of 33, was divided into two halves:
One carried on with their Facebook use as usual, while the other stopped using the social media site entirely, per Phys.org.
A week later,
88 percent of those not on Facebook said they were happy, compared to the 81 percent still on Facebook. Also, 84 percent of the nonusers said
they appreciated their lives, while only 75 percent of the Facebook users felt that way.
t
he people who didn't use Facebook said that after the week was over, they had a better social life and less trouble concentrating, whereas the Facebook users experienced no change in either area.
Use Facebook at your own risk and maybe find some other ways to spend your time. There's always Netflix and chilling.
