- The more friends you add, the bigger your social network looks. On Facebook, the name of the game has always been to have huge numbers of friends. But the trend seems to have reversed, and, ironically, people who had added too many friends now find themselves having to clean up their account or even open a new one. To cap it all, in February 2011 Dr Kathy Charles from Napier University showed that having too many friends was a cause of stress! So if you have 500 or more virtual friends, my advice would be to clear the decks if you want to avoid depression.
