This means exactly that. Thanks, for whatever gift/service was given.
You should say NOTHING AT ALL and change the topic
If someone says that they are puzzled, that means that they are confused, shocked, and at sometimes it can mean that they are disappointed in someone or something.
You can respond with a simple "Thank you for your sympathy" or "I appreciate your concern."
If someone says that they validate you as a person, they mean that they consider you to be a worthwhile person.
what does it mean for someone to be attracted to you
what does it mean when someone says stalactites stem from the ceiling of a cave
they are interested in you
what does it mean when someone says "you have lost your reason and taken the wrong path?"
When someone says they are pining for someone this means their heart aches and they miss that person and that is all they can think of.
It means you will never appreciate something until it is no longer available. I hope this helps.
They mean get your act together.
It could mean they are amazed.
