What is the more common way to say "you're welcome" in French: “De rien” or “Pas de problème”?

“ je t’en prie/ je vous en prie” .It is polite.

French etiquette simply would advise you not to answer.

“Pas de problème” is common and sounds uneducated. It’s often used though.

Why do narcissists and especially covert narcissists always play the victim?

If you want to answer to a person saying “merci” you can say also:

“Il n’y a pas de quoi” . It is friendly and can be slightly familiar but it’s informal and acceptable.

“De rien” is not correct although it is often heard. Avoid it. It should be “Ce n’est rien”.

Is it true that most people in Québec are bilingual in French and English? If so, why do they often identify as monolingual?

“c’est un plaisir” or “avec plaisir” “c’est mon plaisir” is polite.
