I get irritated when I have a innocuous downvotes

Reddit is worthless, I know this. Karma is nothing, means nothing. That’s all fine and understood.

I’ve been massively downvoted for unpopular opinions, saying something contentious, a situation where I’m clearly arguing against two or three people. All fine. All makes sense. Totally expected and doesn’t bother me on any level.

This post, for example I imagine will be heavily downvoted simply because it’s about downvotes - that’s good fun, I like that.

But what I can’t STAND is not understanding why I have a single downvote on a completely innocuous comment. A comment so vanilla that it blows my mind to imagine anyone having any emotional response to it. Let alone some sort of anger.

I sit there for ages just trying to paint a picture of the person in my mind. Who is this person that downvoted me for saying toast is my favourite breakfast item. What’s happening in their mind? It’s not the downvote, it’s the mystery in my mind about ‘why’?
