When I analyzed my Facebook past data, I am lonely with shy, but my personality has changed and I became sociable.

ByBook Catalog

On Facebook, you can download all your Facebook related data in bulk. This data includes past postings, 'Good likes' records, and histories of past interactions with messengers, and almost all activities on Facebook are covered. When a person downloaded his own data and analyzed it with his own script, it seems that a change in my behavior pattern over the past few years was seen.

This analysis was done by a developer using the programming language Ruby and also a hackerPrzemysław MroczekMr. Mr. Mroczek's Facebook account who has been using Facebook for many years and used Facebook and Messenger as a key tool for communicating with others is not an exaggeration to say that the life itself in the past few years is recorded Thing.


First of all, I analyzed what item most messages were sent and received with whom. My own scripts are now able to export data to Excel, and when I ranked people ranked from the top, I entered the top level was my best friend. It seems that the total number of times is a tremendous number of 20,563 times. After that, the number of messages exchanged between herself, her friend, and the person "Chris N" each time exceeds 10,000 times.


Graphing the number of messages sent and received each time this year, it highlights Mr. Mroczek's past activity trends. The total number of messages that had been counted about 1,900 times in 2013 until 2015 suddenly increased to about 12,000 times in 2016 and how much it will reach 40,000 times in 2017 Increase to. Mr. Mroczek does not use a communication tool other than Messenger application, so it seems that message exchanges themselves have increased so much rather than "I started to use the messenger application by chance".


In 2014 and 2015, only 3.6 messages were exchanged per day, Mr. Mroczek, but in 2017 it was said that 108 messages a day flew by average on average. This seems to be an indication that Mr. Mroczek changed his life pattern and changed from a lonely life to an outward personality.

When ranking the number of messages per day from the top, the top sent and received 617 messages on June 4, 2017. After that, 400 numbers are lined up, and it is a level that makes me wonder "I wonder what message you are sending once a second ...".


Changes in numbers are also shown in the number of friends on Facebook who have increased year by year. Taking the number of new friends by year as a table, the record that 2016 and 2017 are the most frequently over 100 people as well. As you can see, the activity is rapidly increasing at this time.


This chart divided the day when we added friends between weekday and weekend. You can see that the distribution is almost the same, but considering that there are only two days on Saturday and Sunday at the weekend, you can clearly see that making friends is concentrated on the weekend.


Analysis of the words in the message body shows that the total word count was 366,000 words and the number of individual words was 43,000 words. Among them, when Mr. Mroczek gathered words that seemed to represent the personality of Mr. Mrczek, Mroczek analyzed that many words that made introspective elements such as "sleep", "think" "feel", etc. appeared many I will.


The script created by Mr. Mroczek can be obtained from the following Github page. However, since the corresponding language is limited to English, we need to process the data of Facebook in English somehow before processing.
