Used when you’re speechless, stunned, or choosing to say nothing — like a quiet “…okay then.” It shows you’re out of words or trying not to comment.
Your coworker just told you he’s spending his entire paycheck on a gaming chair again.
I… don’t even know what to say 😶
Often reads as awkward silence or quiet disbelief, not actual calmness. Don’t use it if you’re trying to sound chill — it can feel like “I’m judging you silently.”
See what they share and how they differ to choose the right one.
Both are muted faces with closed mouths. 😶 signals being speechless or choosing silence, a quiet stunned pause. 🤐 reads as a deliberately sealed mouth, more intentional and playful. It suggests secrecy and a mischievous restraint rather than mere shock. The tone of 🤐 feels conspiratorial and teasing, while 😶 feels flat and stunned. The zipper implies an active decision to withhold comment, adding a wink of mischief that contrasts with the neutral blankness of the mouthless face.
If you are taken aback or genuinely have nothing to add, use 😶 to show silence or muted disbelief. If you are withholding information, avoiding gossip, or teasingly refusing to speak, use 🤐 to convey intentional silence.
