I was hoping for a simple "ty" or "Oh thank you!" or even a "Were you talking to me?" But nothing. No response. They were silent for a moment, moved a bit around me, then just continued chatting and ignored me. Maybe I seemed like "another annoying fan", but it's still not nice. I still admire his works, but the person? Not so much. I really dislike when people take other people's feelings for granted just because they're famous or whatever. We are all human. I just wanna say, as someone whos an artist themself who gets compliments quite a bit, I have the same thing happen alot when people try to compliment me outside of JAGs, I actually usually dont understand if they're referring to me unless they address me by my username/nicknames/etc [or even call out my animal], and I get too afraid to ask if they're referring to me when people are complimenting without addressing properly cause I actually have literally no idea and that I'm too afraid to ask cause I'm afraid of making a fool of myself, so I usually just say nothing unless they get my attention or say it again [or get mad at me, which really.. is terrifying.]

I'm gonna regret admitting this cause I'll probably be attacked for this, but I'm autistic. That's a reason why I don't really understand when people don't refer to me properly when speaking to me, and other mannerisms that usually get me in trouble. It sucks.

I'm mentioning that I'm autistic cause Windycityblues may be in the same situation as I am, being afraid and honestly, clueless as I am and I hope that is the case, so it isn't just them ignoring you. Both for their sake and your feelings ;_;

But again! I'm really sorry that happened to you, and if what I think isn't the case [either by you telling me you referred to them exactly by their username/etc or by being proved that they are not and were ignoring you], then that's super awful of them and I hope they can learn how to act better. I hope days get better for you <3
