According to a new study, If you are the one who update their status message on social networking sites like Facebook, regularly, then people can easily know what kind of a person are you.

The study has claimed that the short statement, which can be seen by hundreds of online friends, reveals much more about you than you think.


Psychologist and author Dr Michael Carr-Gregg said that people who use it could be suffering from insecurity. “You’re sending a message out to everybody that rather than just quietly getting on with what you’re doing you need external recognition,”

Carr-Gregg claimed that people who post updates about feeling depressed were actually seeking attention, and he cautioned that such behavior could ultimately prove to be dangerous.

“This is a digital SOS. They can be very, very upsetting when you send out something and you get absolutely nothing back. You could be forgiven for thinking no one cares, but not everybody is online or checking their phone all the time,” he said.

Also, he revealed that updates about children could turn out to be quite boring for others.

“Parental pride is understandable, we’re allowed to be proud about our children milestones but the tragedy is that nobody else gives a stuff,” he said.
