Just two
Facebook comments a day over a month from close friends may improve a person’s
feelings of well-being and satisfaction with life just as much as getting
married or having a baby. However, passively reading posts or one-click
feedback such as “likes” do not have these positive effects. This is not just
only about anything that’s particularly labour-intensive. This can be a comment
that’s just a sentence or two. The important thing is that someone such as a
close friend takes the time to personalize it. The content may be uplifting,
and the mere act of communication reminds recipients of the meaningful
relationships. Sixty comments from close friends on a month were linked to
increases in users’ psychological well-being as large as those associated with
major life events.
