In reply to Debbie Johansson. Sounds like you're spot on, Debbie. So far all the research points to limiting time spent on social media as the best approach.

Social media has its advantages, but it can be a great time waster - especially Facebook. This is timely post as I've been easing off social media these past few months to concentrate more on my writing as well as doing a lot more reading. As a result, I'm much happier. You give sound advice, Colleen - it's good to know that that research is proof I'm doing the right thing. ;)

In reply to jmcgarryxx. There's actually research on that, too. Negative messages can bring us down, emotionally. Like you said, we feel badly for them. We can offer some support but we do have to watch out for our own emotional health, too--keep it in balance with the positive messages.

Not all people post paositive message. I've read a lot of posts on Facebook that talk about people's problems. They're in the hospital, a family member just died, or they feel depressed. In those cases, I can feel some sympathy for them.
