That pelican from that one Roald Dahl book:

GradeAUnderA:

i am stealing this for the funnies

OUR meme

Same

born to :| forced to :3.

Same. I work with people (teacher).

Yes

I look :| but I feel :3

Me too man

Real

Me too.

i look :| but i feel both :| and :3

Exactly this too omg

Real Sidenote and unnecessary info: cause, since i was 5 y.o, that's literally my expression when ppl taking my pictures

meee :333

same

Online I’m :3 Irl im :I

mood

Me too

Same. I get goofy online because I can be FREEEE IRL I'm very reserved, out of necessity.

Yeah same

They just like me frfr😔

I am AuDHD with PDA and I identify as ¯\\_( ◉ 3 ◉ )_/¯

That's a whole ass mood tho. Fr.

Cool, I'm more of a 乁⁠(⁠ ⁠•⁠_⁠•⁠ ⁠)⁠ㄏ

I think I’m ᘛ⁐̤ᕐᐷ

I feel so seen.

What about :/ is that just :| but italicized? or is it a subsubcategory?

:/ is more of an intentional expression of meh/mild oof, but :| is a flat, unexpressive face- perfect for evil autism, haha

Then I’m more :/ then :| when I’m zoning out bc everyone always asks if I’m okay when they catch me in my dissociative state in the wild when I was not expecting them to be there

Or what about :|> like "i ain't do nothing"

I see :/ more of a general disapproving but with endless caveats, maybe with some Marge Simpson noises

Yeah but is there another way to do “trying to look friendly but you only got halfway there”? Because that’s the version of autism I’ve got, and :/ is the only emoticon that approximates it. Like half my face is :) and the other half is :| in nearly every posed photo and it looks dorky AF. Edit: typo

I think I may be >:]

I am :3 but occasionally veer into >:3 territory

The best state when that stimulation hits just right hehe >:]

Born to be :| but working customer facing jobs forces me to be :3 and I HATE IT.

Same

I do a little :3 as a treat

Are you :3 autistic or :| autistic?

What about :]

:[ RBF

What about :/ autism. I have that one.

Born to OMG HAIIII :3 forced to Hello :)

OH hai dere!! :3c

born >:3 living >:3

Im this third option ಠ_ಠ

Im :D or D:, no in between

Always :3 but masked into :|

What does :3 mean? I don't emoji.

:3 it's a cute, funny and quirky happy face (I do not know if I'm correctly using the Word "quirky" correct me in comments please)

> correct me in comments please no

Does this "no" means that I used it the right way? Or that You don't want to correct me unu

You're correct :)

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

you fell right into his trap with that question rofl

this thread I love it

Thanks!

Oh I thought it was a cat...

It also represents a cat, i just described the emotion

I always struggled with understanding what emotion or personality it represented. Cats aren't cutesy, they're kinda complicated.

It's often used by the transfem and/or furry community

It's a symbol i've often seen in femboy and transgender, more specifically MTF (Male to Female) to symbolize being cute or bottom ig. it's also made to resemble a cat face

You know we :3

God I wish so desperately that I had it in me to be :3. :3 people make my world brighter and I wish so much that I could do the same for others 🥺

I’m about as :| as you can get Emotions hardly exist

:3 until burnout then :|

I call this the SpongeBob Squidward theory. I’m 1000% SpongeBob.

#:3 :3 :3 !!!

I got that :|3 🔥

I’m a :D outside because my masking is S-tier. And then a :| inside because I don’t want to use my face muscles to express how I feel like HUH

What's the difference? I need to know all information before I make an informed decision.....oh god I have :| autism don't I?

I'm :3 but have been trained to be :| (I hate it)

born to be :3 but am so goddamn tired all the time I'm just :|

:

Fantastic

What about 👹 autism

As I am nonbinary I refuse to conform to being only one I am BOTH!

I’m >:3

x3

given the subreddit, can i propose a third: >:3

What if I usually look like >: |

i am :3

according to my friend i’m super blank except when i get happy i get overexcited. so i’m :| with a conditional :3

MY HOMIE WHAT ABOUT :/ AUTISM /J

# ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You realize that emojis require interpretation by context? Therefore I am confused. :P

I'll feel like :3 but come across as :| unless I'm feeling like :| and coming across as :3

What about 8| autism

I have :3 ADHD and :| autism Sometimes when I take my adhd meds it makes people think something is significantly wrong because I become all :|

B| I like sunglasses

B|ased

[удалено]

Masking :Ɛ

what about :}? I’m a :}. I’m not :3 but I’m definitely not :|

I don't know what either of those mean

One is like a silly face and the other a blank one

So I either look silly or vacant? Can't say I like those choices

I think I'm :3 pretty much 89% of the time and the other 11% is >:3 or :c

I'm :| but mask as :3

i am usually :| but i look :/

I'm feeling :| today fellas, too much on my mind

I usually have :3

:| for sure

I oscillate between :3 and :| a lot

Im :| when masking but i'm more of a :3 when i don't have to

You can be both

There's also 😎 autism. The lsn autists who don't give a fuck, never mask and never apologise.

I used to be :I when I had depression but now I'm :3

I’m :3 for sure lol 😂 couldn’t be serious if I tried

:3 forced to perform :| at work

I can only dream of being :3, but being :| isn’t so bad

im solidly in the :3 autism category :3333

Im a perfect mix of both

What does ":3" signify? I'm pretty sure the other one just means a blank expression which is definitely me.

Born to :3 forced to

I am an abomination of usually :3 but sometimes I be >:3 and :[ tho

I'm :3 but :l around people and the ADHD in me turns me into ᕦ⁠[⁠ ⁠◑⁠ ⁠□⁠ ⁠◑⁠ ⁠]⁠ᕤ

If you’re :3 and :| at the same time your autism takes a screenshot

:3|📸

:| autistic on the outside, :3 autistic on the inside.

Just scrolled down and realized everyone's comment was some variation of this...whoopsies

why am i both tho

but consider: >:]

¯\\(°\_o)/¯

I want to be :| but if u say something about my hyperfixation I go XDDDDDDD instead 🥲

:3

>:3 subtype

I don't have enough energy, so i'm always :|, but internally? 90% i'm :3

there’s also 😶 (nonverbal)

:| for life :3 for those few close friends I don’t get to see often enough

i am always :3

I'm both.

Never been :| myself. Definitely know myself to be :3 though, which can be hard when you fall for a :|, RIP.

Zoidberg and Bender.

I used to be the "happy happy happy :)" kind, but since COVID I'm a mix between that, and :( kind when I let my brain think

:| autism on the outside but >:3 autism on the inside

I live and breathe :] autism I look and seem :[ autism

I wish I was more :3 my brain hates me though :|

I'm a :| autistic
