Weird Messages That I Received

I have a Facebook page which has a decent number of followers. I update it regularly though not as regularly as my Instagram and Twitter. Among the different social media platforms that I am active on, I have the most messages and comments on my Facebook page.

The awesome thing about those messages and comments that I get is knowing that there are many people out there who are concerned about me and the channel. When I posted about my flu, there were numerous people who left incredibly sweet messages for me, wishing me well. People also enjoy leaving me suggestions for future videos which I really appreciate. It really pleased me to know how much our work has impacted people's lives. 

However some messages rendered me speechless, I don't even know how to reply to those messages. Messages are different from how you speak to a real person in REAL LIFE. It is absolutely normal to say hi to a person in real life but it's super weird when you just send a message with just 2 letters without the slightest indication of the purpose of the message. You don't send out an email with just "Hi" right? I thought it's only appropriate to state your purpose of the message after saying hi. Sometimes I get messages like that:

A: Hi

Me: Hi

A: Hi :)

WHAT?! It's already weird enough that you didn't state your purpose and you just said hi again? In cases like that, I would stop replying because I suspect it may be a never ending trap. 

These are more examples: 

It was really tough trying to figure out what this person was saying because it wasn't in proper English. I guess this person wanted me to shout out to his friends? But I had no idea who these friends are and what kind of shout out this person wants me to do. 

It's really weird to ask me to do something when I don't know him. And worse of all, I barely have a clue about what he wants from me. Just too weird. 

OK. This is another one of those non-English message. I only managed to identify about 15 English words out of the entire message? So I guessed this person meant: 

Hi Miss Foxy, can I ask you a question? Are you a peranakan chinese? Because you look like my ????? from ????? And lastly ???? your guy can make some videos about peranakan. 

I am not a grammar nazi. (That's Aaron and Elliot.) I don't even proclaim to have perfect English. But reading messages or comments with obvious grammar and spelling errors is going to give me a stroke sooner or later.

THIS IS THE WEIRDEST. Did he think I was part of a dating agency?! I know this is mean but I laughed at the absurdness of this message. He concluded that I was an honest and sincere woman from going through my Facebook page? AND concluded that I was the one? How?! 

After receiving numerous messages in weird English, I decided to give this person the benefit of the doubt and trust that he wasn't being rude, but just has really bad command of the language. I decided that he was asking me which country I am from instead of the exact location because that will be incredibly creepy. Name u? I guess he was asking me for my real name and not screen name. 

Reading the comments and messages on YouTube and Facebook forced me to come to a conclusion. One that I wish that I would never have to make. People have serious EQ problems.
