Does social media cause people to have jealously and a level of competition?

-The need of doing something and constantly showing off what you've done on social media

No, I don't think so but it depends on people's mentality....

I think "showing off" as you put it, becomes habit for people. Jealousy and competition usually isn't a problem unless it is between a group of friends. In fact, sharing too much online is a common issue. This article talks about bad habits that do come from social media: http://voices.yahoo.com/social-media-not...tml?cat=15

If anything, I think social media within close groups of people can cause lack of tolerance, which makes anything that you share on social media up to scrutiny by others.
