Facebook makes you hate your life, it can increase your self esteem, positive and negative emotions are infectious. Now, there’s evidence that sharing too many vacation “gloaties” on social media could lead to a loss of friends.

Multimedia software company Cyberlink commissioned a study from the market research firm YouGov to survey more than 2,000 U.S. adults to find out how social media engagement impacted vacation enjoyment.

More than half of the respondents indicated that they shared photos because they simply liked sharing photos (61 percent), to update friends and family on their whereabouts (58 percent) and to capture holiday moments (52 percent).
