Social media has become the most important part of the modern society. A number of social sites have been developed which allow sharing posts, status and locations etc. thereby providing an easy access for users to see other people’s activities such as what location they are at and what they are doing. This activity engages people in social comparison in which the people compare their lives with others on the basis of information (status, location, etc.) posted by them on the social media sites. This often leads to making people think about their life as less idealized/privileged, thereby causing stress. Our study suggests that among others, one of the triggers of stress is fake location sharing by the users. So our research has proposed Framework for stress management which address issue of fake location and also allow user to share real location.it also provide about contents along with other associated information based on real user location. Usability study of framework has also been conducted.
