A notification popped up...

So I use instagram on my browser usually so that I don't waste much time scrolling reels on the app. A friend asked me my username and I wanted to recheck it so I opened the site and saw 2 notifications there. One was a follow request and the other was a 'like' on my comment. I opened it. It read, "you're gorgeous." Weird! I don't usually comment. Moreover, it was on a girl's picture I was seeing for the first time. And that too from a different continent. And guess what she was the same girl whose request was there in the notifications. I was very confused. I deleted it. At first, I thought my account must be hacked. Then I searched and found out that this must be a glitch or I might have forgotten it. A glitch, right?
Anybody else experienced this?

That's smart! Browsing on the desktop can really help cut down on distractions.

Sounds like you stumbled into some weird spam or a bot trying to get your attention. I've heard similar stories beforejust seems like another glitch in

Sounds more like a classic case of user error than a glitchmaybe you accidentally commented while scrolling?

Sounds like a strange mix-up, but honestly, if you didn't comment, just move on. Its probably nothing to stress over.

Sounds like a weird situation, but maybe just a little too much drama over a notification?

Sounds like a classic case of social media weirdnessmaybe it was just a glitch, or maybe your account's trying to make friends without you knowing!

Sounds like either a glitch or an awkward attempt at flirting; either way, deleting it was probably the best call.

Sounds like a classic case of social media weirdness; those 'glitches' always seem to happen when you least expect it.

Sounds like a classic case of a spam bot or a weird glitch, but could definitely have gone south if you'd engaged with it. Just be

So youre saying you got a compliment and a follow request from a stranger, and your first instinct was to delete it? Sounds more like a

Sounds like a weird mix-up, but hey, at least someone thought you were gorgeous even if it was an accident!

Sounds like someone was trying to get your attention, but if you didn't even comment, its a weird situation for sure.

Sounds like a weird mix-up, but honestly, who even has time to stress over a random like?

Sounds like a classic case of the internet being weird; I wouldn't stress too much about it.
