In our modern society, friends are always shown by virtue of social media like Facebook. Facebook brings people together and creates a surprisingly sophisticated cyber image of a Facebook user. In the field of social communication people often use this wonderful medium and it has ultimately created a world of virtual friends.

However, after being operational since February 4, 2004, Facebook has attracted approximately 1.1 billion users in its decades-long existence (Wilson, 2014).

These social communication features have led Facebook to rapidly gain popularity among its users. Facebook, compared to other electronic communications, allows for a better understanding of how the user is doing. By keeping up to date by posting photos, statuses, and sharing others' feelings, Facebook users enjoy their freedom of communication and friendship. However, some unhappiness and tiredness are also reported. Some users actually spent more time, as stated by King, 2011: "I was unhappy and felt empty. The amount of time I was spending on Facebook had pushed me into an existential crisis." This satisfaction depends on the nature of the users and the way they manage the media towards their goal.
