Are you okay with knowing

Is it correct to phrase this question this way?
Are you okay with knowing that other people have done it before you?

Thanks

Yes, this is a familiar expression. ‘Okay with knowing’ means comfortable with something that some groups of people have also done what you thought was unique or sensational. While you might think you are unique, you are being asked if you are embarrassed or upset to learn that you aren’t that different.
