  I think people who are exposed to the type of passive aggression  related to gaslighting can become hyper vigilant and begin to see it where it doesn’t exist. It’s part of why gaslighting is such heinous behavior, because it compels the victim to question and adapt their perception of reality. I think the identification of passive aggression is also impacted by culture. I’ve noticed some of my younger friends from work sometimes laugh and tell me I’m being sarcastic or passive aggressive when we play video games when I’m being 100% genuine. Like they can’t believe someone would congratulate their victorious competitor, for example.
  I like the smile. It looks happy.
context: It doesn't even look passive aggressive. It looks dead inside >
  
  😀 >
  
  I concur. 😃 >
  
  🙂 >
  
  🙃 >
  
  "I'm gonna keep using it and you can't do a thing about it 😀" >
  
  My sister always says that 😀🔪 these two go perfectly together. Maybe I should combine them when I send her that text >
  
  I feel like 🙃 takes the cake on passive aggressive. Like, arguing with an SO and they just respond with "Whatever it's fine 🙃" >
  
  i feel like that one is too straightforward, like “what wtv it’s fine 🙂” it’s way worse to me hahaha >
  
  I feel like regardless of the emoji, "It's fine" is a universal sign that it's gonna be a long fucking afternoon lol >
  
  Never heard of that emoji being passive aggressive >
  
  seems like you never had to use emojis before the yellow icons. its just :D... no deeper sense then some eyes and a laughing open mouth.
  funny in my eyes that you speak of us as us the genZ as if you were all the same. >
  
  sorry if i offended you... was never my intention i only wanted to share that i find it interesting how you and your generation sees the emojis. no judgment, no offense at all. >
  
  no worries and thanks for coming back on it. text simply is a very poor communication device which creates misunderstandings especially if the topic gets 'richer' according to the media richness theory.
  i am still fascinated that you speak of genz as whole. may i ask if you feel that people your age have many similarities which would allow to group them by generation? in my age group i think we usually group by other aspects (like political views as example) if needs are around to generalize (which is not a bad thing per se it just makes talking easier). >
  
  🫵🥰👍 >
  
  👈😀👈 >
  
  It looks nice and cute but at the same time I almost always see it used sarcastically >

  Here is a guide for y’all.
  Not your fault but I’m feeling numb 🙃
  I’m not happy about the news but whatever 🙂
  I see that you think that this is funny 😊
  I’m in bliss ☺️
  I’m laughing 😆
  I’m happy 😄
  I’m alright with this 😃
  Well, shit hits the fan but gotta keep going 😀
  I hate you with every fibre of my being but I can’t say anything about it because you’re my boss/ I don’t really care about your well-being but I’ll smile to make our interactions be smooth in the future 😁 >
  
  French 🤮
  Oh no 😬 >
  
  I think this one🙂 is considered passive aggressive >
  
  🙃what is this one? >
  
  this one is 'oh no' >
  
  The problem is zoomers parents used it with them in a passive aggressive way. So it's just the accepted thing. I like him too. He's smiling. There's nothing wrong with the smiley guy at all. >
  
  You make a good point. My sister also says that it has a „serial killer vibe“ but I don’t see it. 
  I just think he’s cuter than 😃 because what the hell is wrong with it’s eyes? and 😄😁😆 all have closed eyes which is sometimes just too strong of a reaction and not fitting every situation. 
  This leaves 😌☺️😊🙂 which are all okay but none convey the emotion that I want to portray which is just friendliness. (🙂 is a little too distant)
  Of course this whole thing is stupid and I know no one really cares that much about emojis lol I just wanted to express my potentially controversial love for 😀 >
  
  I appreciate the thought that you've given to this hahaha >
  
  🙂 is HR’s favorite one to use. It can mean literally anything coming from them. Are they happy, are they annoyed? Have they just low key roasted someone specifically in a company wide email? >
  
  🐏🍆👍 >
  
  Lamb with grilled eggplant tastes good? >
  
  .... something along those lines, I suppose ... >
  
  An appreciator of Greek cuisine I see >
  
  been told that the thumbs up 👍 emoji is passive aggressive and rude  
  waiting for  
  "putting out your hand expecting a handshake is passive aggressive and rude" >
  
  Wasn't there a US college somewhere that claimed applause was a "micro aggression"? >
  
  It looks like patrick when he says "I love you" selling chocolate >
  
  Omg yes fantastic. I love that scene >
  
  As person who loves using emojis, I prefer the Japanese emojis. The eyes are much more expressive that the western one. Like ^^ T_T or -- is really much expressive. >
  
  I feel like if I use those people will assume I like manga and anime and K-pop since where I live those people are the main demographic that use such emojis and then they will be disappointed that I don’t >
  
  There is something wrong with Generation Z (and young millennials) and their obsession with labelling normal interactions online as passive aggressive. >
  
  Preach >
  
  I've noticed people on facebook, twitter, and such use smile emojis in an attempt to hide that they're angry/butthurt while in an argument. Maybe people just associate the emojis with that now. >
  
  Omg haha i can’t believe you’d say something like that 😀 lucky for you I never get angry 😀😀😀 otherwise that comment might have set me off 😀😀😀😀😀 >
  
  it looks like a shocked 'did you really just say that' face
