People Suffer Tragedy In Social Networks Hard.
If you shell out much chance on Facebook untagging yourself in unflattering photos and embarrassing posts, you're not alone. A supplemental study, however, finds that some people take those awkward online moments harder than others. In an online look at of 165 Facebook users, researchers found that nearly all of them could describe a Facebook involvement in the past six months that made them feel awkward, embarrassed or uncomfortable. But some kinsmen had stronger emotional reactions to the experience, the survey found Dec 2013.

Not surprisingly, Facebook users who put a lot of customary in socially appropriate behavior or self-image were more likely to be mortified by certain posts their friends made, such as a photo where they're incontestably drunk or one where they're perfectly sober but looking less than attractive. "If you're someone who's more affected offline, it makes sense that you would be online too," said Dr Megan Moreno, of Seattle Children's Hospital and the University of Washington.

Moreno, who was not confused in the research, studies boyish people's use of social media. "There was a time when community thought of the Internet as a place you go to be someone else. "But now it's become a place that's an appendage of your real life". And social sites like Facebook and Twitter have made it trickier for folk to keep the traditional boundaries between different areas of their lives.

In offline life populace generally have different "masks" that they show to different people - one for your close friends, another for your mom and yet another for your coworkers. On Facebook - where your mom, your best investor and your boss are all among your 700 "friends" - "those masks are blown apart. Indeed, commonalty who use social-networking sites have handed over some of their self-presentation oversight to other people, said study co-author Jeremy Birnholtz, director of the Social Media Lab at Northwestern University.

But the step to which that bothers you seems to depend on who you are and who your Facebook friends are. For the study, Birnholtz's line-up used flyers and online ads to recruit 165 Facebook users - mainly girlish adults - for an online survey. Of those respondents, 150 said they'd had an disconcerting or awkward Facebook experience in the past six months.
