“You’re not showing much enthusiasm,” Dan said.
“Trust me, it’s great,” Cynthia said. “I’m sure it will make you very popular when you post it.”
“It’s not that I don’t trust you, Cynthia,” Dan said. “It’s just that you seem so languid. Are you ill?”
“No, I’m not ill, Dan,” Cynthia said, “But I am bored. You’ve been writing and editing that thing for hours and I’ve read draft after draft and I think I’m too close to it to see it for what it is.”
“I can’t win with you, Cynthia,” Dan said. “This post is my masterpiece and all I ask for is your support and your honest feedback.”
“You want my honest feedback, Dan,” Cynthia said. “Fine, my honest feedback is don’t quit your day job.”

Just like “Does my bum look big in this?” We don’t want to know the answer unless it’s the one we want to hear!
