Why do people respond with "yes" when someone asks if they mind something? To mind something is to be upset at that thing, so why do they respond with yes when they mean the opposite?

I have never seen that. People usually say "not at all" or "go right ahead" or something like that.

They mind it?
If i asked someone “do you mind if i XYZ” them saying “yes” is telling me not to do it

"sure" is the response which is appropriate, "yeah" is sort of a followup to show intention not necessarily a direct response to the question.
sort of like "nah yeah" and "yeah nah"
