What does “no worries” mean in a text?

You apologized. They said “no worries.” Do they mean it?

What it most likely means

It's really okay. It's one of the most common ways to say don't give it another thought, and most people mean it exactly.

What six different Brads heard

Everyone has a Brad: the anxious little security guard in your head. Six of them read “no worries” and every one of them is sure. None of them have evidence.

  • The Archivist · Division of EvidenceThey also said 'no worries' in June. In June there were worries. Brad has the receipts.
  • The Proofreader · Division of Outgoing MessagesLowercase. No exclamation point. The worries are being withheld.
  • The Volume Officer · Division of DimmingWe over-apologized and they had to manage it. 'No worries' means please stop.
  • The Fire Marshal · Division of ExitsNo worries. No exclamation point. No future.
  • Customer Service · Division of Keeping Everyone HappyThere are worries. Several. Unlisted. Brad is sending a second apology to cover the first.
  • The Forecaster · Division of Worst-Case WeatherWhen people say no worries, Brad starts worrying for both of them.
