It doesn't even look passive aggressive. It looks dead inside >

😀 >

I concur. 😃 >

🙂 >

🙃 >

"I'm gonna keep using it and you can't do a thing about it 😀" >

My sister always says that 😀🔪 these two go perfectly together. Maybe I should combine them when I send her that text >

Never heard of that emoji being passive aggressive >

Gen Z here. A lot of us don't like the 😀 emoji because it feels like a sarcastic smile which makes it a bit passive aggressive. It has to do with the fact that even though the mouth is wide open, the eyes look normal, making it seem like the smile isn't genuine. So compare 😀 to 😃😄 and 😆. What you will find is that they all are smiling their mouth wide open but they also have changes to their eyes, making the smile/laugh feel true. 😃 is still a little uncomfortable because of how much it is like 😀 so I use 😄 and 😆. Also 😁 can come off sarcastic but it depends and that's another explanation. >

🙂 is also on this list >

I use this for "I'm PISSED about the thing I'm sending and if you don't again, you're dead." Lol >

Which is actually passive aggressive, no?  If you’re PISSED and you’re wearing a subtle smile? >

Oh for sure, but there are different types of passive aggressive. >

I feel like 🙃 takes the cake on passive aggressive. Like, arguing with an SO and they just respond with "Whatever it's fine 🙃" >

i feel like that one is too straightforward, like “what wtv it’s fine 🙂” it’s way worse to me hahaha >

I feel like regardless of the emoji, "It's fine" is a universal sign that it's gonna be a long fucking afternoon lol >

🫵🥰👍 >

👈😀👈 >

It looks nice and cute but at the same time I almost always see it used sarcastically >

Here is a guide for y’all.
Not your fault but I’m feeling numb 🙃
I’m not happy about the news but whatever 🙂
I see that you think that this is funny 😊
I’m in bliss ☺️
I’m laughing 😆
I’m happy 😄
I’m alright with this 😃
Well, shit hits the fan but gotta keep going 😀
I hate you with every fibre of my being but I can’t say anything about it because you’re my boss/ I don’t really care about your well-being but I’ll smile to make our interactions be smooth in the future 😁 >

French 🤮
Oh no 😬 >

That emoji looks like u just told a dad joke. I like it personally 😀 >

And I like you now >

I think this one🙂 is considered passive aggressive >

🙃what is this one? >

this one is 'oh no' >

The problem is zoomers parents used it with them in a passive aggressive way. So it's just the accepted thing. I like him too. He's smiling. There's nothing wrong with the smiley guy at all. >

You make a good point. My sister also says that it has a „serial killer vibe“ but I don’t see it. 
I just think he’s cuter than 😃 because what the hell is wrong with it’s eyes? and 😄😁😆 all have closed eyes which is sometimes just too strong of a reaction and not fitting every situation. 
This leaves 😌☺️😊🙂 which are all okay but none convey the emotion that I want to portray which is just friendliness. (🙂 is a little too distant)
Of course this whole thing is stupid and I know no one really cares that much about emojis lol I just wanted to express my potentially controversial love for 😀 >

I appreciate the thought that you've given to this hahaha >

🙂 is HR’s favorite one to use. It can mean literally anything coming from them. Are they happy, are they annoyed? Have they just low key roasted someone specifically in a company wide email? >

🐏🍆👍 >

Lamb with grilled eggplant tastes good? >

.... something along those lines, I suppose ... >

An appreciator of Greek cuisine I see >

been told that the thumbs up 👍 emoji is passive aggressive and rude  
waiting for  
"putting out your hand expecting a handshake is passive aggressive and rude" >

Wasn't there a US college somewhere that claimed applause was a "micro aggression"? >

It looks like patrick when he says "I love you" selling chocolate >

Omg yes fantastic. I love that scene >

As person who loves using emojis, I prefer the Japanese emojis. The eyes are much more expressive that the western one. Like ^^ T_T or -- is really much expressive. >

I feel like if I use those people will assume I like manga and anime and K-pop since where I live those people are the main demographic that use such emojis and then they will be disappointed that I don’t >

There is something wrong with Generation Z (and young millennials) and their obsession with labelling normal interactions online as passive aggressive. >

Preach >

I cannot understand the impulse to analyze a smiley face this closely. >

I've noticed people on facebook, twitter, and such use smile emojis in an attempt to hide that they're angry/butthurt while in an argument. Maybe people just associate the emojis with that now. >

Omg haha i can’t believe you’d say something like that 😀 lucky for you I never get angry 😀😀😀 otherwise that comment might have set me off 😀😀😀😀😀 >

it looks like a shocked 'did you really just say that' face >

I think people who are exposed to the type of passive aggression  related to gaslighting can become hyper vigilant and begin to see it where it doesn’t exist. It’s part of why gaslighting is such heinous behavior, because it compels the victim to question and adapt their perception of reality. I think the identification of passive aggression is also impacted by culture. I’ve noticed some of my younger friends from work sometimes laugh and tell me I’m being sarcastic or passive aggressive when we play video games when I’m being 100% genuine. Like they can’t believe someone would congratulate their victorious competitor, for example.
I like the smile. It looks happy. >

i’ve heard of 😃 being the sarcastic one but not 😀. i’d suggest using 😄 or 😁, these look more cheery anyways. >

This 🙂 is the passive aggressive one. >

It doesn't look passive aggressive, but those eyes feel a little bit uncanny, like they're staring into my soul. >

🍽💩🫏⛳️ >

😃 < use this one instead maybe? >

I have been using it all the time and those who take it passive aggressively can fuck off because they are just projecting. Really easy to stiff through some crappy people quickly online. >

Your opinion is valid and agreeable 😀 >

🗿 >

🙄😒😑 >

That emoji is used as a "poop happened, come fix it" stand in for my girlfriend and I. It all started because she sent me a "your daughter just had explosive diarrhea 😀" when our girl was about three months old. She followed it up with "come and rescue me". 
Now its stuck. We now send them to each other whenever there is a situation and want the other to deal with it/need help. I got one from her today because our son wiggled his diaper off and it got everywhere. I love fatherhood. >

People need to stop trying to convey emotion through what amounts to letters that are typed on a screen. Emojis are lipstick on a pig!
No two people read any written sentence the same. We read in our own individual interpretation. 
Get off your screens & talk! >

🐽
👄 >

We, millenials, got used to :D and 😀 is the closest thing. You do you >

Just got off a service chat where the helper put that very same emoji after every question and sentence. Are you that helper?! >

I actually pride myself on never helping or attempting to help people so I couldn’t have been me! >

The whiplash between “🙂 seems so nice and cute and happy and friendly and I love it!” And “I take pride in not helping other people” is crazy to me lmao >

Haha just to be sure I’m not misunderstood, this was a joke lol, I like helping others >

😏 >

😀 >

🙂
This one is the passive aggressive one >

A smile? 
How, in any way, is that passive aggresive? >

Emoticon. >

🙈 this is the worst one >

I’m glad they eventually released this 🙂 because for a while, I remember 😊 being  the only happy emoji, and it’s just… too happy >

Im sorry but the eyes just look so blank >

But what about 😁? >

theres better emojis to use tbh, this emoji in particular is just unsettling and doesnt really convey “happiness” too well. >

I think it’s fine. Unrelated, but I think it’s really funny to use emojis where they don’t belong. Stuff like “How’s your day going? 🤠” >

It depends on the words you are writing and what the context is lol. But I think most people use it in a negative way unfortunately. Even I see it and think that the person texting me is picking a fight with me by default lol
