The Battle Against Inner Mind (Former The tyranny of smileys thread)

[Johuotar]

Have you been searching for the most fitting smiley to add to your post to elaborate it?

DON'T!

No more smiley tyranny! (If thats okay with you... )

Share your smiley problems in this thread.

This post would have gone into nonsequiturs but I just posted there so I wanted to make thread instead so the flood of important messages doesnt drown itself in wave of spam.

But I like smilies.

Oopsie.

It seems there are some smilies in this post.

Also, I'm listening to music.

Of course, this might make Johuotar , but no smilies make me .

This thread isn't anti emoticon, its anti "must have smiley in post or I cant post it" problem that I have. I am by no means anti emoticon person, in fact my problem is exact opposite.

So much this. And what if this happens? Frantic search for fitting emoticon or image from google.

But why? Why waste time to search image to explain what you feel when you can convey emotion in other ways.

I need a smiley appropriate for biting someone tongue of.

Spoiler:

Where is this from?

I need a smiley appropriate for biting someone tongue of.

Are you biting someone's tongue off? Are you requesting a picture that is worthy biting down on their own tongue of? Are you requesting a picture of someone biting their OWN tongue?

I just googled "No one understands me."

I for one have problems choosing the right emoticon out of the ones we have. Sometimes I feel that more than one emoticon can convey at least part of the way I feel, and it's frustrating trying to single out the most 'accurate' one.

[Flying Dice]

I tend to use emoticons fairly liberally because I see them as a(n admittedly inferior) substitute for body language, tone, etc.


In other words it is really fucking awkward to type out something to the effect of, "I mean this in jest." or "I'm seriously angry right now." for every nontrivial post.
