What and how much do you 'read into' emoji reactions to your posts and comments?

Poll - Total Votes: 15

Just a courteous acknowledgement, nothing more.

I take every one of them literally.

I analyze them to the point that I toss and turn at night.

I don't take any of them personally.

I don't know, but there aren't enough of them.

More often than not, I take them at 'face value'. Those that are not just a courteous acknowledgement, don't generally require any "analyzing" at all.

@Piper In my opinion there are not enough emotions represented to take them at face value.
For example, when I wish to give an 🙄 but it's not available, I will use the surprise or smile emoji.
I take most of the reactions I receive as an acknowledgement or a 'thank you' for showing interest and taking the time to comment.

@RogueLodyte I was referring to the emojis that are currently available as a way to react to...acknowledge posts and comments.

Since there is no just "like" option available, I figure the "♥" can mean that someone actually does love a post or comment, likes it, or is just giving a courteous acknowledgement of input. Neither do I assume someone is actually laughing out loud if they choose the big grin emoji, as opposed to just finding it amusing.
