Question

Why is it that whenever someone says "I appreciate your enthusiasm," my enthusiasm feels oh so very unappreciated?

Because it means "I appreciate your enthusiasm most of the time, but not right now." :)

You'd think just once they could say "I appreciate your enthusiasm" when they actually appreciate it.

Or please.

Or thank you.

Or good job.

Some folks just aren't wired that way. I know I used to be pretty bad for it. Been working to improve that.

Almost as bad as "You're a great person and all..." where you feel anything but great.
