University Researchers Conclude That Over-sharing On Facebook Is Scientifically Uncool
Tagger’s Delight is an investigation carried out by researchers from the Universities of Birmingham, West England and Edinburgh in the UK. The study uses scientific evidence to suggest that people who constantly spam their Facebook friends with ‘selfies’ and ‘food pics’ have no real life friends and suffer from real life intimacy issues. It explains in very clever terms to very clever people, why people that over-share want to create an illusion of a fun, exciting life.
The report says “Increased frequency of sharing photographs of the self, regardless of the type of target sharing the photographs, is related to a decrease in intimacy.”
We all have that Facebook friend who wants to let everyone know that they are still waiting for anyone to call them back. This is always untactfully done through a series of photos of one’s self; the subjects of Tagger’s Delight often share pictures of their behind or cleavage as it suggests that one is ready to mate.
The most popular cases of oversharing is of the subjects adorning the self in the mirror, sometimes looking away from the camera in disgust or disappointment. They even often smile as if one were a duck because, one rather fancies a duck wrap for lunch.
Ironically, the pictures that are supposed to keep the non-spammers jealous and the virtual hater’s hating, may result in “risk damaging real-life relationships.” But this is completely dependent on whether the subject has friends or haters in the first place.
And if you’re got a facebook friend who constantly puts up pictures of themselves in a Wonder Bra with a duck attached to their face… then we suggest you post this link to their facebook page as a subtle hint… for amusment sake, we suggest also finding them on instagram… we’re sure there will be a whole shit-tin worth of “selfies.”
