you're okay

You'll be alright

You're okay is reassurance that someone is safe, unharmed, or performing adequately.

It can calm someone in distress: You're okay, just breathe.

It also signals acceptance or approval: Don't worry about the mistake—you're okay.

The phrase sometimes minimizes another's concerns, dismissing their distress rather than validating it.
