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

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

French etiquette simply would advise you not to answer.

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

My son died seven months ago at the age of 24 how do I know if he’s in heaven and can he see me and hear me and why have I not gotten any signs yet from him or Mom just not seeing the signs how do I know if he’s OK how do I know if he’s happy?

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

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

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

Why did I move on so fast from a relationship that was my whole life and I was so attached, I moved on by 2 months?

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