Why You Shouldn't Say "You're Welcome" When Someone Says "Thank You": It's Not About Superstition

Perhaps many of us automatically say “you’re welcome” in response to “thank you.”

It turns out that there is no point in giving such an answer. At least, this is the opinion of psychologists and esoteric specialists.

The first of them say that the phrase “for nothing” is bad for several reasons.

One of them is that the one whose mouth uttered this thus declares that his services or other actions are of no value.

Psychologists warn: with this approach, primarily to your own efforts and time, you can soon forget about the concept of “good” in most aspects of your life.

Another reason: by saying “you’re welcome,” you can inadvertently humiliate a person.

By asking you for help, he thereby made it clear that he cannot cope with a certain task on his own.

Therefore, your “you’re welcome” may be perceived as, for example, “no big deal,” “it was a piece of cake,” and so on.

Therefore, instead of gratitude, the interlocutor may feel resentment, anger, irritation, and rage towards you.

Reason three: Some people might think that since it was so easy for you to complete the task and fulfill the request, then they can ask you for more, and more, and more, and more.

This way they can “sit on your neck” and not get off for a long time.

From an esoteric point of view, “thank you,” which is an abbreviation for “God save you,” expresses not just gratitude, but a desire for you to be under the protection of higher powers.

If you answer “no reason”, then these words can be interpreted as meaning that you do not need the protection of the Almighty.
