But, why can't it be neutral? If it can be perceived in a positive way and a negative way, maybe the truth is somewhere in the middle?
I don’t know that there is really a universal truth with it being used and received so subjectively. Someone might mean is neutrally, but we can’t guarantee it’ll be received that way. What’s more, what would be a neutral usage?

If I say ‘you’re awesome’, that’s a firmly positive statement. If I say ‘you’re generally awesome’, half of recipients will think you went out of your way to add doubt, whereas half will think you did to to bolster its truth.

Using that example, is there a way that it could be neutral? Any less than positive is surely negative, no? Or maybe that’s just my flawed psyche at play.
