when southern women are saying bless your heart it means they want you 6 feet under with a fork up your ass.
When they say ‘I love that for you’ it means you have just said the most painfully boring and stupid thing imaginable and your entire existence deserves to be put under review.
This is what I’ve learned from my brief time in the south.
"Bless your heart" can be positive. It just swings between a sincere suggestion of pity and sorrow for your predicament, to "You are dead to any knowledge or succor of the divine"
If there's more than one word between 'your' and 'heart', it's an increasingly-stacking case of "wisdom is chasing you, but you are faster" (shoutout Xevi)
If my rudimentary grasp of the Southern dialect is serving me right, it means they hate you, or something.
"Well, bless your heart" can mean that depending on context and tone.

Can confirm, where I'm from it can also be polite dismissal like a nicer version of "cool story bro"

Nope.
