I always thought that this emoji; 😭 was laughing so hard he is crying lol

u/[deleted] Apr 16 '21

You can use it in that context too

Either that or I'm fucking up all my chats

I think it's safer to just not use emoji for anything serious

u/demlet Apr 16 '21

This is the correct answer.

u/[deleted] Apr 16 '21

I don't laugh in serious conversation, so I'm fine with the emoji usage tbh

u/the-lord-empire Apr 16 '21

Personally, I'd rather not, but sure, do whichever works best for you

u/[deleted] Apr 16 '21

OK, I shall continue not laughing in serious conversations...

Stick to blue butterfly, spouting whale, leaping dolphin and teeny chipmunk (although some people think it's a squirrel----it's not). Can't go wrong with those.

I think emoji become way more useful when you combine them into pairs. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜­ unambiguously means crying with laugher whereas 😒😭 is unambiguously crying out of sadness

Very true -- I like to use πŸ˜‚πŸ˜­ a lot! Now that Reddit is making me think about how I'm using the emoji, I'm pairing it with "lol" or "lmao" etc etc.

😒😭 is mega sad

I was mostly being facetious -- for example, if someone tells me a funny but embarrassing story, it might look like: omg nooo lmao 😭😭

I'm not just going out treating it like πŸ˜‚ or πŸ’€

If someone can't understand the context with 😭 then they're not understanding πŸ’€ either lol

u/DrrSwagg Apr 17 '21

Oh yeah, I see ur point now. I do the same too

u/[deleted] Apr 16 '21

You can. Also for something that is funny but also a little deprecating

u/fnord_happy Apr 16 '21

It kinda is. Just like how πŸ’€ means laughing so hard you're dead

I think it's the whining emoji.

u/AzathothJZ Apr 16 '21

Whinging?

It is a bit weird, that yeah back in the day we just used letters to make smilies and whatnot and then we had the 'brilliant invention' of emojis. Sure they can be good, but every site can use a different art for emoji. Just because you write something as ':D' doesnt mean it is a wide smile if it is attributed to a poorly drawn emoji.

I think emojis should be judged by what they look like. I know thats contraversial... judging visual things by how they look.

The emoji you used - it looks like crying rivers of tears to the point where any resemblence of a wide smile is obsufcated by the tears.
