Was my reaction bad?

Question

It's been very hard for me to open up to other people. At work there's one girl who tries to get me out of my shell. I gave her a card and wrote that I'm glad that I've gotten a chance to get to know her and wanted to thank her for always being there for me and for listening to even tho I'm quiet.

Saw her today, along with a few other friends. She told them about how I wrote her a really cute note. Then she turned to me and thanked me for it and said it was beautiful. I lowered my head and smiled but couldn't make eye contact as she was saying this to me and our other friends.

What would u think if you witnessed my reaction? Was it bad?

Answer 1

I would just think your where nervous, but I wouldn't take offence. And no, I personally don't think it was bad....she may just think your kinda shy. lol

Answer 2

I would think that you are very shy, and need to work some on your social skills.  Giving her the card was a good start.  Now work a little more on your communication skills.

Answer 3

I wasn't there but I hope your co-worker wasn't being snarky.

If you think the compliment is genuine and not meant to embarrass you then make eye contact, smile and say "Thanks". You don't have to make a big fuss or be embarrassed.  

Answer 4

It's fine. I'm like that too but I can't trust anyone anymore. I thought I could last time I've met some really nice people but not anymore. I'm dead on the inside.  

Answer 5

you should have kissed her, everyone loves lesbians

Answer 6

You are harder on yourself than any one could ever be.  If I saw you I would think you are as sweet as the note you wrote and I would feel that you weren't doing it to get anything back in return.   That you just did it from the heart.   Don't focus so much on what other's are thinking about you....cause they're probably just thinking about themselves.

Answer 7

I would've thought that you were shy or embarrassed a little bit because on how you smiled and lowered your head. It's not a bad reaction, don't worry! I'm actually glad for you that you have these people around you who are nice and support you.

Answer 8

i would think

"naww shes cute and modest and shy"

it was really nice of you to write that note

you sound like a lovely person to get to know.

Answer 9

I'd just think you were modest. It's nothing bad.

Answer 10

i think you would be so adorable. I might even be turned on. Hehe.

Answer 11

If I witnessed this reaction I would think you are extremely shy, that is all , don't read anything else into it!

Answer 12

drama queen

Answer 13

You did just fine, most people get a little modest  when people compliment them...

Answer 14

No it isn't bad, you're shy and she obviously knows. Its ok. Chin up ;)

Answer 15

You did nothing wrong.

You showed your shyness.

She was kindly inviting you to join her group of friends.

Now that she's vouched for you, they'll likely keep trying.

If she was kind, they probably will be as well.

Answer 16

geez u really do need to break out of that shell

Answer 17

No . I would think you were embarassed and shy. I think it was thoughtful of you to have given her a card. I think I would have felt much the same as you cause I am quiet also. For me I wouldn't have expected any response  and I would have re-acted better if she had said something to me alone and not  in front of her friends.  

Answer 18

if she knows its hard for you to open up to other people, then she should completely understand that you went a bit shy or embarrassed. I think I would have personally did the same lol. It's an natural reaction - being yourself. =]  

Answer 19

No- not at all.

I would merely think that

you were being shy and modest.
