tired face
Definitions & examples
Can also express emotional burnout—like when you’re not physically tired, just mentally done.
In the Philippines and parts of Southeast Asia, 😫 is often used to express a “mentally exhausted scream,” not physical tiredness but the feeling of being socially overwhelmed, embarrassed, or emotionally drained to the point of wanting to shut down.
Don’t confuse 😫 with 😩—😩 is more dramatic or whiny, while 😫 feels genuinely worn out or drained.

Differences between 😫 (tired face) and 😩 (weary face)
More on weary face
😫 tired face and 😩 weary face both convey exhaustion and emotional depletion, signaling that the sender feels overwhelmed or fed up; both can express stress, low energy, and a desire to step away from a situation. The key difference is tone and nuance: 😫 tired face reads more like sincere exhaustion and resignation—“I’m completely drained and done”—whereas 😩 weary face carries a theatrical, slightly exaggerated flair that blends real fatigue with playful melodrama, making it useful for venting with a hint of humor or dramatic emphasis; use 😫 for earnest, serious moments of being overwhelmed and use 😩 when you want to convey both tiredness and a wry, relatable over-the-top reaction that softens the heaviness.
Usage
You might use 😫 tired face when you are genuinely burnt out and need to express serious frustration or fatigue to others. Consider using 😩 weary face when you want to signal exhaustion but also add a touch of playful exaggeration or dramatic flair to lighten the mood.
