Does anyone else get a fair amount of anxiety when they are downmarseyd here on Reddit? Especially when you haven't said anything controversial, rude, or inappropriate? It happens to me kind of often, and I just end up getting embarrassed, and deleting the entire comment itself because I feel I said something wrong. I was just wondering if anyone reacts in a similar way and how do you guys deal with it? Any advice for not letting it get to you?

FAQ
What does this mean?
The amount of karma (points) on your comment and Reddit account has decreased by one.
Why did you do this?
There are several reasons I may deem a comment to be unworthy of positive or neutral karma. These include, but are not limited to:
Rudeness towards other Redditors,
Spreading incorrect information,
Sarcasm not correctly flagged with a /s.
Am I banned from the Reddit?
No - not yet. But you should refrain from making comments like this in the future. Otherwise I will be forced to issue an additional downmarsey, which may put your commenting and posting privileges in jeopardy.
I don't believe my comment deserved a downmarsey.
Can you un-downmarsey it?
Sure, mistakes happen. But only in exceedingly rare circumstances will I undo a downmarsey. If you would like to issue an appeal, shoot me a private message explaining what I got wrong. I tend to respond to Reddit PMs within several minutes. Do note, however, that over 99.9% of downmarsey appeals are rejected, and yours is likely no exception.
How can I prevent this from happening in the future?
Accept the downmarsey and move on. But learn from this mistake: your behavior will not be tolerated on Reddit.com. I will continue to issue downmarseys until you improve your conduct. Remember: Reddit is privilege, not a right.
