What would u think about how I reacted?

Question

It's been very hard for me to open up to other people but one girl at work 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.

When she came over to say hi, she told everyone 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 didn't say anything back. I just lowered my head and smiled and couldn't keep eye contact. Then she said that she was going to email me a thank you, or write a thank you card but decided that she'd just thank me when she saw me. I told her that it was ok.

Was it bad that I didn't say anything and just looked down and smiled when she mentioned the note to everyone? I didn't even say I was glad she liked it... What would u think about how I reacted?

Answer 1

I wouldn't think to much about it because I would understand that it's hard for you to open up. I'd just be glad for the card. So I wouldn't worry about I'm pretty sure that she understands.

Answer 2

you done nothing wrong sometimes at work when i get told well done i look down but they still say it, she knows you meant what you said in the card and i reckon she was touched by it

Answer 3

You learn as you go and many times you never know how a particular person may react.  A saying in the bible somewhere mentions this.  Whisper something in someones ear and a small bird will carry the message about.  Meaning that sometimes you should keep some things to yourself.

Answer 4

i wouldn't worry bout how u reacted u did nothing bad or wrong in any way  

Answer 5

I would not worry about your reaction to this. You stated that the girl at work tries to get you out of your shell, so she must know that you are shy and would not expect a difference in your personality and behavior when you thanked you in person. You were not rude in your response; you did not gloat and was humble and shy in your response. I would say you are just fine and no one is going to think differently of your because of how you acted.

Answer 6

No problem with how you reacted.  Your friend understood, and you told her it was ok.  I think she is a potential friend for you.  You should try to do something with her sometime.
