The Emoji that Speaks for Me

2 min readJul 15, 2026

I think I use the 😅 emoji the most… mostly because I am a very forgetful person.

I also use 😅 when I try to crack a joke, because I know comedy is not my strong suit, although I can be found trying to pull off jokes all the time.

The secret I hide behind the emoji sometimes..?

Well, if you have not met me in person, you would not know. But I am so used to saying “sorry” and “thank you” a tad too frequently. It is just a habit.

I have had new friends get mad at me for saying “sorry” and “thank you” especially if they consider those expressions too formal, although it is just a casual thing at the moment.

Even if I bump into a door, I’d say “sorry” instinctively, and I have thanked even vending machines and ATM kiosks.

Just habits!

But when you type out “sorry” or “whoops” too much, it can come off as weird. The 😅 helps me minimize typed-out “sorries"

I also love using ☺️🙏🥰😔🙂‍↕️💕🫣
