I was watching shorts videos a little while ago and in one of them, this girl was looking at the camera I think, and I was watching the "shorts" video and reading the comments beside it. Sometimes when I watch shorts videos, if I get worried that I might actually be watching some type of live thing (which has happened before), I press pause of the video. I did this a few times with this video when I started getting suspicious and when I pressed pause, it paused, so I thought everything was fine. A little bit later, she turned to look at the screen again and looked shocked and then she looked at where the camera was on her laptop and then she raised her hand a certain way as if to say "wtf" so I pressed pause again and scrolled down.
I had grey marking tape on my camera (my dad put it on there after I realized that people were watching me play Sims - I never even set my computer to do any of this, but I keep getting seen by people and sometimes vies versa on my laptop) so I originally thought that at least people probably won't see me if this happens again.
I told my mum about it and she said, "well if you could see her, many other people would also have been able to see her and she'd be able to see them too, so it was probably someone else watching her that did something weird that she was reacting to." I tried to tell her that I was for some reason the only one who she could see, but she doesn't think so.
Should I go back to the shorts video and apologize to her in the comments, or would that make it more weird? I'm scared to go back, but I would like to explain that I thought I was watching a shorts video and say sorry because I probably looked like a real weirdo.
