    Antisocial people.

    It was the same on Reddit. All of the people who despised emojis were often posting in really cringe and incel related subs.

    My use of emojis sky rocketed after I started dating. They are fun and convey emotion really well.

      I’m convinced emojis are what has been missing from language for a long time. They are great way to portray emotions through texts, which otherwise could not be achieved.

      This way there is a difference between:

      “You are so amazing 😁👍”

      and

      "You are so amazing 🙄 "

      Same. I never used emojis until I met my SO, and then my emoji use skyrocketed. They’re a nice way of succinctly articulating some thoughts and emotions.

        If I’m going to be relaying through to people strictly over text as much as I do these days, I better have a way to articulate it with the right emotional range to match my sparkling personality ✨
