We were taught, and, we are expected, to say “Thank you!” whenever someone says something good about us, or, our creations.

However, when someone tells you that they love your work, they aren’t really telling you about your work, they are telling you about themselves.

(People who get offended by your not saying “Thank you!” after they have paid you a compliment were merely desperate to be thanked.)
