Ok, the title was an overuse of emojis as a joke. But seriously, I like some limited use of emojis because it helps me convey intention/emotion so that I'm less misunderstood and also adds some more feeling/fun to text content π

It feels immature and cringe but that's probably only 'cause I'm βoldβ.
And I thought it was us middle-aged (40+) and older who was the only one who still used them literally. Gotten the impression that younger generations invented non-obvious meanings that spread in trend waves, then stopped using emojis when it became too hard and social anxiety-inducing to keep track of the various interpretations of what a "slight smile" might possibly mean to the receiver. π
Yeah, I don't care anymore. I just use a few smile emoji, and the facepalm one, because I never found a satisfactory emoticon for it.
