I hear “No problem” far more often.

    I had to do one communucation trainung where the trainer saud that saying “no problem” should not be used, because it implies there might’ve been a problem. I was not convinced though.

      Then “your welcome” implies you might not be welcome. Seems like either both work or both are problematic, he can’t have it both ways.

        Agreed. Might also be because “problem” is a word with negative conotation? Idk, I don’t see a problem (hah) myself

      Wow. facepalm The words literally say there’s no problem, and yet it somehow implies there is a problem? Talk about overthinking what someone is saying.

      This is why I often hate neurotypical communication styles. The world would be a lot more straightforward if people just said what they meant. Jesus fucking Christ on a motorbike…

        … would be quite a sight to see. Although if He can do all those other miracles, I guess fucking Himself on a motorcycle wouldn’t be impossible. So I guess it’s just a straightforward statement on your part.

        Then why are people tripping about saying “you’re welcome”?

        It doesn’t imply that there is a problem. It implies that there would have been a problem, if it hadn’t been generously waived by the “no problem”.

      Someone said that to me just the other day! That saying “no problem” implies there might be a problem. Crazy. I’m thinking of switching to “well it was quite an imposition on my time and energy to help you out, especially given you’re not paying me, but I’ll let it slide this time because you seem like an ok person and I’m in a good mood” just to annoy them.

        I doubt that would annoy them more than “no problem” since it is perfectly in line with what they think you’re saying by “no problem”.
