is it true that It isnt nice to say "you are welcome" when someone says "thank you"?. I've read some websites where It is said that in general "you are welcome" doesnt sound good. in that case, what would be the best answer?

It's entirely down to personal opinion, but very, very, very few people are going to get annoyed at you for saying "you're welcome". The reason it can sometimes be seen as not a good answer is that some people feel that saying "you're welcome" implies that you think that you did something significant or that inconvenienced yourself and so you're basically agreeing that you did a good thing? I don't really know how to explain it, but some people don't like saying "you're welcome" unless they've actively done something difficult or that took effort because they feel like they're being self-important.

Other responses are "no problem", "my pleasure" and "happy to help", but all of these can be seen as "rude" by some people so honestly, just choose how you feel you want to reply to "thank you" and go with it. If someone's going to get offended by how you respond to being thanked, then there's nothing you can really do about it.

Personally, I rarely say "you're welcome" because I don't really feel like I've done anything worth being thanked over, so I tend to either say "sure" or "no problem/worries". For example, if I help someone carry their stuff, I don't feel like I've really done anything that big so if they thanked me, I probably wouldn't say "you're welcome". If I feel that I did actually do something worth thanking someone over, then I'm more likely to say "you're welcome". Again, this is just personal preference.
