If you’ve run across a bunch of numbers in status updates for your friends on Facebook, chances are they are playing the number game.
What is the Facebook Number Game? You ask your friends to send you a private message with a number (any number will do…this is for them to remain anonymous when you post about them). Next, you put that number in your status and tell the person how you feel about them without mentioning them by name.
EXAMPLE: 2234- You have always been such a great friend….blah, blah, etc.”
At first it became annoying for me to check my Facebook feed and see a bunch of numbers. However, it then became a challenge to see if I could figure out the person that each status was talking about. I do love a challenge, you know. I finally caved in and played along, asking my friends to give me a number so I could tell them how I felt about them. I’m glad I did. It never hurts to reminisce about good memories of people and it also gave me the chance to let them know how special they were to me. Of course, I could do this at any time and I’m sure it is probably annoying the people on my friend list. There’s just something liberating about telling the world how you feel about someone anonymously, though.
