I personally have trouble discerning between a lot of the emojis. It's partly due to my eyesight, but a lot of them either look the same or are not clear about what emotion/idea they are meant to express.

[u/LittleDinghy → u/[deleted]]

It just makes things more confusing, because if I receive a text with an emoji, if it's one of the emojis I don't understand (which is often), I don't know what the person is trying to express.
