I really do enjoy facebook but there is a game on there that I have learned not to like too much. I don't know what the game is called but it's where you answer questions about your friends on facebook. They ask you about 23 questions. I admit that I have answered these questions but I'm not going to any more. I thought it was all in fun at first and I wasn't serious about some of the answers I gave. However, I got a notice from facebook that several of my friends had answered these same questions about me and one of the questions has had me pretty upset. The question was "Do you think Kathy Jones is cute?" The answer this person gave was "no". I probably shouldn't have taken it seriously but I didn't think it was nice of the person to answer this way and I was hurt by it. I've had to deal with low self esteeem most of my life, anyway. If I had known who the person was who answered this question, I would have let them know how I felt about this. I clicked on the thing that said "to find out who answered this question, click here"(I think that's what it said, anyway) but it said I would need 50 more coins to find out the answer. If the shoe were on the other foot, I don't think I would have answered this way no matter whether it was true or not. I have a few friends on there that I don't even know. Some of them added me thinking I was the same Kathy Jones they knew years ago. Also, some of my family are my friends on there and I hope it wasn't any of them. Are any of youall on facebook? If you are, I'm sure you know which game I'm talking about. How would you take it if one of your friends on there had said this about you? How can I contact facebook to let them know I don't think they should have this game on there?

That's right. It's not good to dwell on things like this. That's one of my problems, though. I tend to dwell on things a lot. I realize I'm actually hurting myself worse than I am the other person when I do this. I also know that it doesn't do any good if you worry. It just makes you sick for one thing. Also, if you worry about something and it doesn't happen, you've worried in vain. If it does happen, you've had to worry twice. Sometimes you can't help but worry, though. I guess it's just part of being human. Kathy.

Thank you for your response. I'm not going to play that particular game any more but I enjoy playing Farmville and Happy Island. I don't think I'm cute, either, but other people have told me different. I'm not going to brag on myself. I've pretty much gotten over it, though. Kathy.

There is a contact us button or two some where on facebook. and I am sure there is a group designed specifically for feedback.
However, most of these "games" are third party. And this type that you speak of is very popular. I think you are Cute. You think you are cute, and in the end....it doesn't matter what other people think of you. Only what you think of yourself. Focus on all the great things that you are. And Who cares if one Jerk says you aren't cute, probably a young kid, who thinks you aren't young enough to be cute to him, it is just his OPINION, and opinions are just that, peoples thoughts, not based in fact, and to be given no credence without support.
You will see in a lot of the talks I say, I flat out say, this is my opinion. When I do this, it is to let people know that I have not done any research, and the idea is to be taken with a grain of salt, that is what I think you should do, take that this beautiful Kathy Jones thing isn't cute, with not only a grain, but a pound of salt.
You are a beautiful, loving, caring, awesome, terrific person. Don't let the opinions of others hold you back from being the absolute best that you can be.
With love and appreciation.
CJscott.

Thank you, CJ. It's nice of you to say these things about me. I decided not to worry about this remark any more. I just decided that it's probably somebody who doesn't know me and they probably didn't know how to answer. I enjoy facebook but I'm not going to play that game any more. One of the mylotters told me that it was called "Friends Revealed". Now that I know the name of it, I know to avoid it because even though it might be all in fun, some people might not know how to react to the answers. I enjoy playing Farmville, Happy Island, and Petville on there. Also, some of my friends and family are on there who live far away. This is a good way for me to keep in touch with them. Thank you for responding. I appreciate you, too. Kathy.

You are most welcome Kathy.
Mostly I use Facebook to connect with old and new friends, and build my network marketing business. It helps that I offer free generic training, so it is as simple as read this neat o book, get lots of ideas from a 30 year veteran.
I also play Bejeweled Blitz, as well as Zynga Poker once in a while. I tend to avoid the opinion based and quiz style games on there, there is enough things in a day using up my time, that really aren't overly necessary.
Cheers, I appreciate you.

I've just recently joined Facebook but only play the games. I don't do the question games and I tend to keep to myself. I have quite a few friends on there but other than about 5-10 of them I don't know the rest...they are just neighbors on games. As for the game you're talking about, I wouldn't play it and I probably wouldn't like it either. I doubt Facebook will remove it but you can always block it and not play it.

This is a good suggestion. I hadn't thought about blocking it. I've gotten over this now, though. I decided whoever answered these questions about me is one of the friends I have on there I don't know and who doesn't know me. I know most of my friends on there and some of them are family members who live far away. This is a good way for me to keep in touch with them. My nephew, who lives down close to Orange Beach, Alabama, played this game on me recently and everything he said about me was good. I know he's family but I felt so much better. Kathy.

It's a game like they call it and like you saw, but somw of this game are really personal and the answers are quite touching, i just want you to take it easy as getting to know who answered so might make you angry and could seriously cause some real enimity...i would advive you not to be angry getting angry over facebook apps might just harm some serious relations or friends whenever you retaliate...some of this apps are not games they are real personal apps that lets people express how they feel about you and that should let you know that there is more to those apps that just creating fun for facebook users, continue to have fun and just be wary of friends and other people you have as friends on facebook...

Thank you for your response. I'm not worried about this any more. I decided whoever made that remark probably doesn't know me because I do have some friends on there I never have met. I think it's a good idea to be wary of the friends I make on there, like you said. Some of my family is even on facebook. My nephew did this "friends revealed" game on me not too long ago but everything he said about me was nice. That made me feel so much better. Kathy.

I started that game and quit when the "coin" business came up. That's the way I feel about all the games on FB that require "coins". I've only been on FB a few months and am beginning to wonder if I want to continue. If I'm questioning the usefulness of the entire network, I can assure you someone's comments about me on the site don't mean a thing. Blow it off. You're cute, and so is the horse in your profile picture. Also, I wouldn't bother contacting FB about deleting the game, they'll just give you some garbage back and continue to let it run. They're making money with it; that's the bottom line.

Hi hofferp! It's sweet of you to say these things about myself and my horse in the profile picture. He is my horse, too. My nephew gave him to me but I'm not going to keep him because he's too unpredictable. My nephew's going to swap him out for an older horse for me. Anyway, I decided not to worry about the comment any more. It could have been made by somebody I don't know. I like facebook because I can keep in touch with my family and friends on here who live far away. I also enjoy playing Farmville and Happy Island. Thank you for your response. Kathy.

well i think you shouldn't take it too serious!Facebook,after all,still an online world,where we can find the relaxed time!the question in FB is not answered by your friend but it's like a random choice from the system!we all know about this system then think it's just for fun,don't take it seriously!!!

Hi phungminhthu! Thank you for your response. I decided not to take it seriously any more. It could have been answered by someone who doesn't know me. However, I won't play that game any more. I don't know how it can be a random choice from the system because I answered some questions like this about some of my friends on facebook. I know one time I answered a question about my niece. It was asking me if she smelled and I answered the question "yes" in a joking manner. She asked me later if I was serious about that and she asked me how she smelled. I said "why you always smell like flowers!" You just never know how they might take it. That's why I don't think facebook should have this game. Now that I think about it, it seems ironic that I answered this question this way about my niece because does landscaping, lol

I held off from signing up for Facebook for a long time and then finally checked it out at the urging of some online friends, but I was not impressed, and in particular, I did not care for the fact that it tried to tell everyone personal information that I thought should remain private on the account. I never trusted it from the start, and of course gave it fake information, but that is not the point. I canceled it anyway. I guess since you have a name that thousands of others share, it is safer for you to reveal it here as you did than if you had an unusual surname, but I think should be much more concerned about strangers being able to follow you online than whether one of them likes you or not.
But if it makes you feel any better, saying "No" to the question if somebody is cute is NOT the same as saying the person is not cute. "No" could also mean "I have never seen her, so I don't know and don't want to say."
I just wish people would realize that being on the internet is much like walking around on a dark street at night. You never know who is watching and should always be wary. I'm not saying not to go out in the dark, but to exercise reasonable care. Kathy, who cares what an idiot says about you. YOU know you are cute!

I don't think facebook should have this game especially if people can't play nicely. Yes, I need to be a little more wary, myself, of what I do on the internet and other people need to be, too. I like Farmville and Happy Island on facebook but I'm not going to play this particular game any more. Even though it might all be in fun, you just never know how people might take it. Thank you for responding. Kathy.

Good morning Kathy, I am on fb but do very little on there. I know the game u are talking about. I don't play any any of the games. I did see where a couple of people had answered questions about me but i didn't try to see what they even were.That was not nice of whoever said that about u. I wouldn't have any idea how to contact fb. There was a lady that was on there that passed away from here & her name keeps popping up because her son didn't know her password & they can't cancel her page.

I decided not to pay that comment any attention any more. I just assume that the person who made it probably doesn't know me. I enjoy playing Farmville and Happy Island on there but I sure won't play that particular game any more. I never have seen a link on facebook that says you can contact them. A lot of my family and church family are on facebook and I like to keep in touch with them on there. Kathy.

Most sites have some sort of contact link on their site somewhere. You can suggest removing it but I don't see that happening.
That was one of those questions that is best unanswered but they could have said a lot worse than a simple "no". Be glad it was left at that or maybe say to yourself "Of course I'm not cute. I'm beautiful!" Maybe that'll make you feel better about you at least.

Oh, okay. I didn't know. I really don't think facebook should have this because even though it might be all in fun, you never know how the person might take it. Like I said, I've had to deal with low self esteem most of my life and a lot of it comes from when I was in elementary school when boys would tell me how ugly I was. I'm sure you know how kids are, especially boys, at that age. I don't think I'm all that pretty but other people have told me I am. Kathy.

I'm just not going to play this game any more because you never know how your friends on there might take the answers, even though it might all be in fun.

normally i play some game that we can share each other our stuff,is more fun and we still can keep our relationship with our friend even better. for what like you said, i have found it from my friend. i feel its just a fun game, is like a joke. i am not taking it seriously as long as they are not disrespecting the people that i love such as my boyfriend and my family as well.

I decided not to take it seriously any more. It was probably made by somebody who doesn't even know me. I still don't think it was very nice, though. They shouldn't have this game on there and especially if people can't play nicely. I've always been self conscious of my looks, anyway, and I think this goes back to elementary school days when boys would tell me how ugly I was. I hope I don't come across like I'm bragging but other people have told me it's not true. Even though I forgive people like this, words tend to linger. Kathy.
