  • Could mean something cringe-worthy.

  • I use it as “I'm really sad,“ maybe I'll end up crying.

  • I use it when I “refuse“ something or say “no“ in disagreement.

  • I use this emoji when many people write to me at the same time and I don't know who to reply to first.

  • It could also mean that you feel miserable about something!
