Abstract
Facebook use is filled with paradox. On the one hand, it is said to make people feel closer to each other and boost psychological well-being (Ellison et al., 2007; Grimes & Fields, 2012; Turkle, 1995; Zhao et al., 2008); on the other hand, it is said to make people feel lonely and jealous of others (Philips & Moberly, 2013; Turkle, 2011). Scholars contend that Facebook use is changing the nature of what friend and friendship means, how people socialize, relate to others, and think about themselves.
