Have you always suspected it? Just one diagram explains it all: social networking as the intersection of narcissism, ADHD, and good old fashioned stalking.



So there you go: with tongue firmly in cheek, this one Venn diagram illustrates how several of the top social networking sites appeal to various intersections of narcissism, ADHD, and stalking. Maybe you’ve always suspected it…maybe you’ve experienced it yourself…maybe this hits too close to home even to be funny? (Or maybe it’s just all wrong?) What do you think? Let us know … on second thought: if you think it’s politically incorrect for a site dedicated to mental health and wellness ever to joke about mental health, then don’t let us know. Just close your browser window and walk away slowly. [makes you go hhhmmmm]
