distorted face

This 2025 emoji shows a bent and twisted face used when something feels way too much to handle. People use it for moments of weird confusion, sudden stress, or when a situation feels so awkward or overwhelming that your mind kind of twists on itself. It fits reactions like “I can’t process this,” “my brain just melted,” or “this feels so off.”

Can also express “too much” in a comedic way — like you just watched a 10-hour livestream and your head is spinning.

Heads-up

Because this emoji is very expressive and new (approved in Emoji 17.0, late 2025), some users’ devices may not display it yet — so if it shows up as a blank square or weird glyph, be aware it could confuse some.
