Shows that you’re annoyed, unimpressed, or just not having it. It’s the digital equivalent of rolling your eyes or giving a long sigh.
Your friend cancels plans for the third time this week.
Sure, again. 😒
Your classmate keeps bragging about acing an interview and won’t stop talking about it.
Wow, we get it, you’re amazing 😒
😒 can sound harsher than you mean — it often reads as passive-aggressive or cold. If you just want to tease or sound mildly tired, consider 😐 or 🙄 instead to soften the tone.
See what they share and how they differ to choose the right one.
Both show a resigned, unimpressed expression. 😒 conveys annoyance and a lack of patience, a flat reaction that signals being over something. 🙄 is more theatrical and dismissive. It communicates disbelief and sarcastic frustration with a louder emotional pitch. The rolling eyes gesture reads as exasperated commentary rather than mere irritation. Where 😒 feels cold and steady, 🙄 feels performative and expressive. The contrast lies in intensity and attitude, one stoic and tired, the other emphatic and incredulous.
If you’re responding to a bothersome or underwhelming situation where you want to show quiet annoyance, choose 😒. If someone says something absurd or you want to convey sarcastic disbelief, choose 🙄.
Both share a blank, flat mouth and heavy eyelids. 😒 conveys annoyance and unimpressed resignation, like a slow sigh. 😑 registers a colder, deadpan dismissal with less visible irritation. The tone of 😑 is blunt and resigned, stripped of sarcasm and almost mechanical. It communicates disbelief and total lack of enthusiasm in a shorter, firmer pulse. The difference is mood depth, with 😒 carrying weary judgment and 😑 offering a sterile, final cutoff.
If you’re responding to something mildly irritating or you want to sound sarcastically unimpressed, use 😒. If you’re reacting to something truly ridiculous or exhausting and want to convey you’re emotionally checked out, use 😑.
