Psychology: Do you have problems with emojis?

[Rogue Princess]

I personally find it alot easier to communicate with emojis, symbols and images. I would have done well in ancient Egypt.

Some of the extended set of emoji are used for sexual innuendo.
Unwitting misuse of those might offend some people.
(They are not the smiley face emoji, though,...)

I like the glasses emoji as you can see in my signature. That and the green laughing emojis "upset" some ppl over there. lol

Well yeah, that's the cool emoji.

I don't think it has to do with whether we like people or not. We don't know the people who use emojis but they use emojis to represent themselves and their emotions. Most of the facial features look smarmy, like the dude in dark glasses with a half smile. I don't know what that's supposed to represent other than a person being shady. There used to be one on the other site that got used a lot. It was a green face with a big toothy smile. Green represents jealousy so I don't know what the smile meant. They didn't go together logically.

It's hard enough to interpret faces in real life (I failed the test), but with the emojis it's even more annoying.

I'm not sure what the cat with red heart eyes means, but it seems rather adult to me (if not illegal.)

Here's the jealous face.

I don't get it.

What do you like about it, or what is it supposed to mean?

To me it's somewhere between the Joker and Green Lantern. I don't see why this would represent jealousy though.

That is an image-based [PNG] emoji like my collection of smiley GIFs.
Proper emoji are single-text characters.

Green with envy. I don't understand the expression in regards to jealousy though

 

[Ella Spell]

Green symbolises both jealousy and envy. Shakespeare first refers to "green-eyed jealousy" in The Merchant of Venice, and to jealousy being "a green-eyed monster" in Othello. Green is chosen for both envy and jealousy because the person experiencing those emotions wil feel the bile churning in their gut, which makes them feel lilly-livered and nauseated - best characterised by green. This is why it's in bad taste to wear green to a wedding, because it represents the person feeling ill with jealousy or envy, toward the bride or the marital couple. '

"Shades" is supposed to be a cool, jazz-style character.

Green symbolises both jealousy and envy.

In many Asian and Middle Eastern countries green is the colour of illness and until more recently they used the Green Cross instead of the Red Cross, or the green sickle moon as is culturally appropriate in some countries, to represent health care.

Not using a phone unless forced to I don't use emojis much, a couple that are quick and easy to type and that's it.

tbh sometimes I spend too much time using emojis, searching to find them, it can be frustrating and taking from the conversation. But I find some things are better spiced by some emoji, to either make them funny or cute or give some unexpected emotion.
