Do you ever get upset if you think you upset an artist?

Basically, there's a number of artists out there, I'm not going to name who, who I'm not going to get art from again.
A part of me thinks I upset them or I was a bad client or I just didn't feel like my patronage was appreciated. it's not like I'm friends with them so I can't just ask because a stranger asking if you don't like them is just weird.
These are artists I genuinely like too, people who I would be happy to spend more money on, they just left me feeling like they didn't want my business. It's especially painful if they don't upload the art I commissioned because I don't upload myself. If I can't favourite it, then I pretty much can't show it around.
Been thinking about this a lot the past few days and it's really starting to upset me. I'm thinking of all the art I'm missing out on because of this.

Like i'm always worried that im too simple with my description or i'm not giving them enough detail to the point they get upset with me. or the feeling that even just talking to them about a commission that they're annoyed with my presence. Even worse when its an artist I admire and want to get to know more.
Some artists are nice but not great at the customer service aspect but unfortunately being friendly is part of the job. It’s not *necessary*, but it definitely helps the experience go smoother.
But yes, I do get upset if I think I've upset an artist, I go out over my way to be a polite and pleasant commissioner.
