Stop posting so many Facebook photos
Warning: Posting too many Facebook photos actually damages your real-life relationships

WE ALL have them: The chronic Facebook photo-posters who inundate your News Feed with snaps of everything they eat, do and see.

And it tus out that over-sharing Facebook photos actually has a significant negative impact on relationships in real life, according to new research.

Lead author David Houghton said the study, called \"Tagger's Delight?\", showed that people who are always posting photos to Facebook can't control how other people perceive them, CBS reports.

\"Our research found that those who frequently post photographs on Facebook risk damaging real-life relationships,\" Dr Houghton said.

\"This is because people, other than very close friends and relatives, don't seem to relate well to those who constantly share photos of themselves.\"

The study found that people who shared a lot of photos on their Facebook page had a decrease in intimacy in their offline relationships.
