Do you ever get nervous when you see that there is a "Comment for You"?

Asked by tinyfaery (44243points) December 16th, 2008

I do. I tend to think I pissed someone off. The only time I’m not nervous is when I’ve initiated the interaction. Am I the only freak?

I love seeing that there’s a comment for me. It sort of makes my day.

I guess we’ve had different experiences.

It’s not like everyone sends me hate mail. But everyone loves you pete…

YES haha. it’s probably just because this is the first day i’ve used this, and i saw that and i was like “oh my god what does that mean?!” haha

I’m always happy to see one, and if I didn’t initiate it, curious about who it’ll be from. The only time I got nervous was shortly after I’d had a question moderated & deleted. I got one from Andrew and thought I was in big trouble! It wasn’t anything related to that though. Whew!

Only one person ever comments me, and it’s all good. It kind of bums me out, though, I guess I’m not approachable on-line, either.

Only when I’ve crossed the line trying to be clever, which is daily it seems.

Oh, wait. I did get a comment once from a woman named Dana (I don’t remember her user name). Dana said that she was an editor for First Magazine for Women and that she wanted to print a story about my answer to a “most embarrassing moment” question. She hyped it all up, said she would send people to do a professional photo shoot. I contacted her once, and she replied with all kinds of credentials, but I never did follow up. Interesting comment.

@gimmedat: Was she a Nigerian Princess? You know I’m still waiting for those guys to get back to me with the $50,000 we’re going to earn in that bank collapse, it’s going to solve all my financial problems.

I don’t tend to mind if I anger someone. Although I try my best not to everyone gets made over some little thing so I try not to take anything all too personally.

No. I think it’s exciting and fun. I’ve never had a negative comment, but I think I could probably handle it if somebody disagreed with me.

I lurves comments because its usually from someone showing me something either really cool or funny :)

cookieman's avatar

All the comments I’ve gotten have been kind, insightful, helpful, or really thoughtful.

Honestly, I wish I got more. It bums me out that I don’t.

maybe I should initiate some

I’ve never gotten a comment… it makes me a sad panda with every passing day that i do not receive one…

augustlan's avatar

Lurve for ‘sad panda’.

susanc's avatar

I always think it’s going to be someone slamming me, but people slam me
in public instead. The comments I’ve gotten have all been kind and helpful or
else curious.

Mostly I get excited rather than nervous. They make me happy.

mzgator's avatar

I get excited. I have only gotten one or two ever. They were all nice comments.

Knotmyday's avatar
