"Pleased with" or "Pleased for"?
Hi, I'm confused. Do you say "I'm so pleased with you" or "I'm so pleased for you?" Is there a difference?
Thanks!
Thanks!

"Pleased for you" means "I am pleased on your behalf." I am happy because something good has happened for / to you.
"Pleased with you" means "I like how you are." I may enjoy you objectively (perhaps without our even being acquainted), or I may mean that our relationship is turning out well - on a personal basis, or perhaps on an employee/employer basis.
