My Emoji Dilemma
Lately so many thoughts has been running to and fro in my mind. Something happened like two days back and I have been trying to figure out where i missed it. So this is what happened, I was chatting with someone but my mind was somewhere else and while in a haste to reply, I sent out a reply that was indeed sensitive without an emoji. To be sincere, anybody reading would’ve been so annoyed but at my own end here, I was just joking around but obviously the receiver didn’t see it that way.
For someone like me, if you are observant while chatting with me, you would notice I’m always conscious of adding an emoji to whatever I’m sending out. The way we react to matters varies. And this is just a chat and it’s not a total form of effective communication because the other party can’t relate to my message if he or she doesn’t understand my context. Most times, I try to put people in my shoes and I know the way we respond to matters differs. I may be able to overlook some things while the other party may just be a very sensitive person. How best can I then communicate my message?
We are all different in our thinking and also in the way we handle matters. We cannot all think alike or respond alike. That’s why it’s important that whoever you are communicating with, know the kind of person they’re and figure out how they respond. Do you know how best you can relate with such people? You yourself also need to be sensitive. You need to know the kind of person even though the person in question may be your best buddy, we all react to messages differently. If you know there’s one of your friends that is way too sensitive, it’s better you add emoji to whatever you passing out. I don’t even need to know you so well, i basically use emojis while chatting because even the person that doesn’t react to message in a sensitive manner can just flip and you may not know or be observant at that particular time.
The problem is not fully one’s fault. Why do I say this? Well, you are chatting with someone you are not seeing that moment, how then can the person tell if you are joking or you are serious about a matter. This is the best way an emoji comes in play or the famous LOL. At least thank God there’s an emoji for all kinds of emotions. So please use an emoji o! Don’t fall into my emoji dilemma or have you ever been on this table? I’m sure once or twice, we have all fallen prey to this kind of situation.
So this concludes my 5th & 6th day of our 30 days of serendipity challenge. I hope you enjoyed this piece. Oya take 😍
Have a lovely day ahead 🥴😂
