What does 'main thing' mean here?

Question

Glad to hear that you're better today. But dont worry about what messages you sent and how people feel about that, if youre feeling better that's the main thing, and finding a good way to manage your stress, are there people at the uni who you can go talk to if you get yourself too stressed? I remember how stressful it could be at uni, especially at this point in the year when the focus is always on exams and assessments. But even those are not worth stressing so much about. Make sure to spend some time taking care of yourself and doing things you enjoy - there's more important things than grades!

Is this somethings you would say to someone you care about?

Answer 3

Main thing means the principal concern or worry, which in this case was something to do with a person's health due to stress.

Answer 4

The main thing being that you are feeling better, which is more important than whatever messages you sent.

This is something you would say to a student or person you are mentoring - not someone who has feelings for you, if that's what you're hoping for.
