I have seen and/or heard the sentence «thank you for the kind words» more than once. The context is usually that the speaker is responding to an appreciative comment in a discussion whose overall purpose is different. For instance, I once received this response at a doctor’s appointment after an appreciative comment of mine.

This sentence tends to sound a little bit trite to my ears—perhaps even dismissive. But judging by the occasions of use, I think it is used when the speaker is grateful for meaningful encouragement. Do others have the same negative reaction I do, or is this an accepted convention that I am misinterpreting due to lack of familiarity? In the former case, what are better ways of expressing the sentiment?

No, this phrasing is not negative or dismissive. Saying, «thank you for the kind words» is very sincere and expresses an honest thanks.

Garner’s Modern American Usage (Third Edition) has the following suggestion:

«Thank you» remains the best, most serviceable phrase, despite various
attempts to embellish it or truncate it: «thanking you in advance»
(presumptuous and possibly insulting), «thank you very much» (with a
trailer of surplusage), «thanks» (useful on informal occasions), «many
thanks» (informal but emphatic), *»much thanks» (archaic and
increasingly unidiomatic), *»thanks much» (confusing the noun with the
verb), and *»thanx» (unacceptably cutesy).

*is used to show what Garner believes are inferior forms.

I could see «thank you for the kinds words» being a way to add specificity to the sentiment, and the phrase could communicate heartfelt thanks. Still, it reminds me of a Hallmark sympathy card. Without knowing the context or the tone with which it’s said, it sounds either affected or stiff.

If someone said that in reply to what I had said,I would be pleased that what i had said was thought by them to be useful and appreciated etc.
If someone didn’t say it in reply to what I had said,I would feel that what i had said was not useful or appreciated etc. and that the person was rude and ungrateful.

I hope that what I have said is helpful to you because I’m afraid that I didn’t quite understand a couple of your questions.

usage note for kind

The phrase these (or those ) kind of, followed by a plural noun ( these kind of flowers; those kind of shoes ) is frequently condemned as ungrammatical because it is said to combine a plural demonstrative ( these; those ) with a singular noun, kind. Historically, kind is an unchanged or unmarked plural noun like deer, folk, sheep, and swine, and the construction these kind of is an old one, occurring in the writings of Shakespeare, Swift, Jane Austen, and, in modern times, Jimmy Carter and Winston Churchill. Kind has also developed the plural kinds, evidently because of the feeling that the old pattern was incorrect. These kind of nevertheless persists in use, especially in less formal speech and writing. In edited, more formal prose, this kind of and these kinds of are more common. Sort of has been influenced by the use of kind as an unchanged plural: these sort of books. This construction too is often considered incorrect and appears mainly in less formal speech and writing.
Kind (or sort ) of as an adverbial modifier meaning “somewhat” occurs in informal speech and writing: Sales have been kind (or sort ) of slow these last few weeks.
