You got / made me anxious

Question

You got me anxious was popped into my head in the first place when typing the message. Then I tried to google about "get / got me anxious", it turned out that seemed to be grammatically wrong as I found more results in "make me anxious" and "got me anxious" was lyrics. Also, "untyping" is a correct word? Thanks.

A: Stop untyping, Peter . You got me anxious.

B: You worry too much.

I don't even know what you mean by that; 'typing' seems to fit the context.

A: Stop typing, Peter . You're making me nervous.
B: You worry too much.

Hi Mister Micawber, thanks for your answer !

Sorry for being unclear in my question. Because A is waiting for Peter's (B) response on Skype. She wants him to type, so she typed : stop untyping Peter. You got me anxious.

I don't understand why some sort of examples are Get + adjective, others are Make + adjective. Like your answer, make me nervous, not get me nervous. I assume that Natives won't say get me nervous instead of make me nervous.

Here's another example of get + excited.

Mother : What are you doing on a singles cruise anyway? Howard is such a wonderful man and a doctor. Why don't you just accept his proposal and be done with this nonsense? No. You do not select well, Caryn. Always the bad boys with the swagger and the tight blue jeans. You know what I think? I think that's what gets you... excited.

Caryn: Duh.

Thanks.

It is still very unclear to me.

see mun TehI don't understand why some sort of examples are Get + adjective, others are Make + adjective.

They are sometimes idiomatic ('excited' may be one), but basically 'get' refers to one's own action, while 'make' refers to another's action upon one:

You make me nervous/angry/unhappy when you wash dishes.
I get nervous/angry/unhappy when you wash dishes.

Do you mean when A says "stop untyping," she means "stop not typing" -- in other words, "start typing!" I don't think any native speakers would use "untyping" to mean "not typing." It's not a "real word," but to me it would clearly imply erasing or removing, letter by letter, something that had been typed previously.

I'm sorry.. Because I just saw the sentence "got me anxious" on Skype but I wasn't the commenter and I wanted to know whether " make me anxious or get me anxious is correct. <img class='emoticon' style='Width:19px;Height:19px;' data-delaysrc='https://uat-englishforward-forums-backend.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Emoticons/2.gif' src='https://uat-englishforward-forums-backend.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Emoticons/2.gif' alt='Emotion: big smile'/>
