Wondered if someone can help me with YouTube notifications please :)?

This will would silly ..but I'm m not young ,so here goes ....IF I make a comment on YouTube under a video of to another person's comment then I' m happy if I get a reply...BUT today checked my Yahoo mail & got 53 emails from YouTube telling me what other people were saying about it..Only 2 were to me and that's all I want..How can I set my YT channel so I only get answers back to anything I'VE SAID ONLY??I am partially sighted and all I can see in the settings is to opt out of all notifications...I just want to see any answers or conversations to me only..Bizarre thing is it wasn't under a racy video but one on ' vertical gardening in small spaces' !!lol😂😂If anyone can talk this old girl through this I' ok be so grateful.Thank you x
