The puzzle is the image but the body requires thirty characters to be posted so ignore this.

The image
Is made up of 33 pixels of different colours. Zooming in a bit:
Now
If we extract the hex value of each colour, and convert it into ASCII we get the following:
776879, 206469, 642079, 6F7520, 737065, 6E6420, 69732A, 206D75, 636820, 74696D, 652064, 65636F, 64696E, 672074, 686973, 207374, 72696E, 673F20, 69276D, 206C69, 6B6520, 67656E, 75696E, 656C79, 20776F, 727269, 656420, 61626F, 757420, 796F75, 206C6F, 280000
=
'why', ' di', 'd y', 'ou ', 'spe', 'nd ', '*th', 'is*', ' mu', 'ch ', 'tim', 'e d', 'eco', 'din', 'g t', 'his', ' st', 'rin', 'g? ', 'i'm', ' li', 'ke ', 'gen', 'uin', 'ely', ' wo', 'rri', 'ed ', 'abo', 'ut ', 'you', ' lo', '( '
Giving the string:
'Why did you spend this much time decoding this string? I'm like genuinely worried about you lol'
Appreciate the concern :P
