Does anyone else feel cringey using emojis?

I have never used any kind of emoji, but use reaction pix roughly one per hundred posts, if something is beyond my capacity for a more fitting & timely response. They strike me less as cringey and more as shallow, even when used in sarcasm: Grown men make psycho bitches of themselves doing that.

>grown men have their sense of self compromised by emoji use

I never use emojis for this reason.

Perhaps if, at 20, what you spend the day saying has no effect on your subsequent development, because no further development is possible. Probably applies to you, but not to most. Sarcasm is in any case irony's retarded sibling. It mimics tone, but reflects nothing.

Do you draw psychological sustenance from the teachings of Jordan Peterson? { :3

I hate them more than I hate anything else in life. I remember when they first showed up in YIM, it filled me with such rage to see my :) automatically turn into a stupid punchable yellow smiley face
I like the ones that are just made from text and punctuation marks they way we made them in the BBS days. I hate the internet now. It's just no fun anymore

No, because I'm an adequately adjusted person.
