A sign of desire to be faster and quicker
“Emojis make it easy for us to express our emotions without the need for words.” Dyen Keleş continued:
“In this period when communication accelerates and the use of social media increases, young people use the power of emojis to tell many things with a single message. Along with the positive effects of this situation, of course, there are also negative effects. In human psychology; Being able to show the emotion that we can express with a long sentence with a single emoji may be an indication that people are getting impatient and desire to be faster and faster. But we know that the emojis used do not always reflect our real mood. On the contrary, sometimes we can use an emoji that we do not feel to hide our true mood and mask our true feelings. Sometimes we can choose an emoji appropriate for the situation to meet the expectation of the other party.
next generation language
The new generation language emojis, especially used by young people, do not always reflect healthy and realistic emotions. In summary, using emoji; Although it can be very effective in providing the transfer of emotion to the other party, sharing the emotion and facilitating the empathy of the other party, it is very important for the person not to disconnect from his/her true feelings and to be aware of his/her true feelings.”
