Posting pics of yourself in FB is the quickest way to lose friends –New Study.

Sharing photographs on Facebook is a quick way to lose friends, according to a new study.

Researchers found those who repeatedly post pictures risk alienating themselves from many people who view them.

They may damage relationships with friends, relatives and colleagues who do not 'relate well to those who constantly share photos of themselves.’

Partners who shared more photographs of events led to a decrease in intimacy.

Similarly, a close friend who shared more photographs of friends could also expect to it to have a negative impact on the quality of that relationship.

‘This is because people, other than very close friends and relatives, do not seem to relate well to those who constantly share photos of themselves.

‘It is worth remembering the information we post to our “friends” on Facebook, actually gets viewed by lots of different categories of people, partners, friends, family, colleagues and acquaintances and each group seems to take a different view of the information shared.’

The report said partners sharing more photographs of family is positively related to support, whereas those sharing more photographs of friends is related negatively to intimacy.

The researchers also suggest big brand advertising campaigns, which encourage people to post photographs of themselves with the product on Facebook, risk damaging the relationships between their ‘fans’

I agree to a certain degree about the friend's pics. I will not want a picture I took with a friend to suddenly appear in FB without my knowledge especially if that pics doesn't paint me in the best of light. And am not too impressed either when all a friend wants me to see is himself everyday, posting pics of himself endlessly. Am happy for him but not impressed.
