Definitely. If they say something non-specific like " that sounds great" or " I wish I could do that", I don’t pursue the topic at all.
It’s more after we have a conversation including “Do you think I could do that too? How? Can you help me do it?” And I have to provide specific answers or show them and then receive the brunt of their ire or dismissal.
It is so satisfying when I do help someone achieve their goals, though, that if I am asked specific questions I usually help, even if nine out of 10 people will balk at the opportunity once they can see it in front of them.
