Lying on face book is common ,but doing so could cause paranoia and memory problems.
Embellishing the truth to impress friends on face book may implant false memories,psychologists have warned.
A fifth of the young people admit their online profile bears little resemblance to reality,and their recollections of past events has been distorted by their own fabrication.
Young adults aged between 18 and 24 say , they frequently lie about their relationships, promotions at work and other things.
Even previous research has suggested that social networks are damaging to autobiographical memory.
Physiologist Dr Richard sherry ,a founding member of the society for Neuropychoanalysis said, warned that it could also lead to feeling of shame and worthlessness .
"This is because we want to put our best face forward ,seeking support or empathy from our peers.But when we deeply lose our-self or negate what authentically and compassionately feels to be 'us';to the degree that we no longer recognize the experience ,our voice ,the memory or even the views of ourselves.
"When this starts to be happen,feeling of guilt and distaste for ourselves can create a cognitive trap of alienation and possibly even a sense of disconnection and paranoia."according to Dr Sherry.
Dr Sherry said that social media had the power to under mine the coherence between our real , lived lives and memories.
The study was commissioned by the world's first anonymous on line journal repository pen courage which aim to preserves true life chronicles by allowing users to anonymously post 200 words every day to their personal journal.
