Eradicating these bad habits

改掉坏习惯

Comparing your own life to the lives people portray on social media.

把自己的生活和别人在社交媒体上的生活比较

The Happiness Research Institute conducted theFacebook Experiment to find out how our social media habits affect our happiness.Half of the study’s participants kept using Facebook as they normally would,while the other half stayed off Facebook for a week.

管理Facebook实验的幸福研究所发现了社交媒体如何影响我们的幸福感。一半的研究参与者和往常一样继续使用Facebook，另一半人停止使用Facebook一周。

The results were striking. At the end of the week,the participants who stayed off Facebook reported a significantly higher degreeof satisfaction with their lives and lower levels of sadness and loneliness.The researchers also concluded that people on Facebook were 55% more likely tofeel stress as a result.

研究结果不同寻常。在这一周结束时，离开Facebook一周的参与者对他们的生活更满意、更少地感觉到悲伤和孤独。研究人员同样发现，一直使用Facebook的人有55%感觉到压力。

The thing to remember about Facebook and socialmedia in general is that they rarely represent reality. Social media providesan airbrushed, color-enhanced look at the lives people want to portray. I’m notsuggesting that you give up social media; just take it sparingly and with agrain of salt.

关于Facebook和社交媒体，要知道它们通常很少反应现实。社交媒体把人们展示的生活加以粉饰和衬托。我不是建议你再也不用社交媒体，只是提醒你要有保留地看待它。
