Emojis represent the new language. We use emojis everywhere.
We use emojis on social media like Linkedin or Instagram, in our chats, and even in articles.
I do, at least.
And in chats, one of the most used emojis is the unamused face with rolling eyes emoji: 😒.
When someone sends you 😒, it means they are either not happy with your message or they are just pouting or annoyed.
Sometimes, 😒 is cute, and sometimes it is a little annoying, depending on the context and relationship between you and the sender.
Most of the time, people use 😒 between two individuals who are comfortable with each other and not too formal.
So, how do you respond to the 😒 emoji? Here are 30 ways to reply when someone sends you 😒.
Oh, and you can just copy any of these responses by clicking on them. Copy it and paste it directly into your chat!
Acknowledge Their Feelings Directly
If the conversation seems to be going towards being serious or involves a bit of tension, acknowledging their disagreement or dissatisfaction directly is a good approach. Your tone should remain neutral and respectful to keep the exchange smooth.
In this situation, your response to 😒 could be:
- I see you’re not impressed.
- Got it, you’re not feeling this.
- You don’t seem too happy about this.
Use Humor to Lighten the Mood
Sometimes, a little humor can break the silence and ease the tension. If the relationship is casual or lighthearted, making them smile might just do the trick.
In this situation, your response to 😒 could be:
- Did I say something wrong? 😅
- Okay, that face looks serious—should I run? 😜
- Oops, did I step on a landmine? 😂
Add Sarcasm to Match Their Tone
When the sender seems playful or dramatic, matching their energy with some sarcasm can make the chat fun without making it turn serious or something…
In this situation, your response to 😒 could be:
- Clearly, this is your favorite thing ever. 😏
- Oh, so you love it? 🙄
- Wow, I can feel the excitement radiating from you. 🙃
Show Curiosity to Understand Their Feelings
If someone sends you 😒 emoji but you are not sure about what’s bothering them, you can sound curious so that they tell you their problem. This works well for conversations with a friendly or understanding tone.
In this situation, your response to 😒 could be:
- What’s bothering you? 🤔
- Is something wrong? Tell me more.
- Hmm, did I miss something here?
Keep It Light-Hearted and Playful
For casual conversations, responding in a cheerful and light-hearted way can get rid of any tension and bring the conversation back on fun-track.
In this situation, your response to 😒 could be:
- Chill, it’s not that serious! 😜
- Okay, grumpy pants, let’s fix this! 😂
- Uh-oh, someone needs a fun break! 🎉
Offer Empathy and Support
If the sender seems genuinely upset or annoyed, showing empathy is the best thing to do. You can help them feel heard and comforted with your response. This works especially well in close or caring relationships.
In this situation, your response to 😒 could be:
- Feeling a bit off today? 💔
- Hey, you okay? I’m here to listen.
- Looks like something’s bothering you—want to talk about it?
Playfully Suggest a Solution
If the 😒 emoji feels like it’s coming from a light-hearted place, you can offer a playful solution. This can turn things around while keeping the vibe fun.
In this situation, your response to 😒 could be:
- You need a hug! 🤗
- Quick, what’s your favorite snack? Let’s fix this!
- Okay, sending a virtual high-five to make things better! ✋
Dismiss It Casually and Move On
If the 😒 emoji feels like a minor jab or something playful, casually brushing it off can keep the chat from getting stuck in a bad zone.
In this situation, your response to 😒 could be:
- Okay, moving on! 😏
- Noted. Let’s keep going.
- Alright, let’s focus on something fun instead!
Agree and Match Their Energy
Sometimes, simply agreeing with the tone of the 😒 emoji can be a witty and relatable way to respond, especially if it’s not meant to be too serious.
In this situation, your response to 😒 could be:
- Totally get it! 😒
- Same, I’m with you on this one.
- Yep, that’s exactly how I feel too.
Respond with an Emoji of Your Own
If words feel unnecessary and you guys are cool with each other (like me! hehe!), replying with another emoji can keep things light and playful while maintaining the flow of the conversation.
In this situation, your response to 😒 could be:
- 😬 – a playful response
- 😂 – a funny reaction
- 🙄 – equally annoyed yet friendly reaction
