“enamored with” and “enamored by”

I think your thinking is correct, hehe, but I think it all depends on how you frame the subject, or thing, or person, that you are enamored with. To be enamored of something could be the same as being enamored by something. For example, ‘I was enamored with her when I caught my first glimpse.’ Or, ‘I was enamored by her striking good looks when I first laid eyes on her.’ Proper noun versus fake noun (a noun you can’t touch, lol, like an idea), maybe…? I don’t know, I suck at English my first language but all the other non-backwards languages make sense to me and I excel at those. At those, does not seem correct…excel at that, excel at those… this is what I’m talking about, makes no fk’n sense to me…
