Face with Tears of Joy Emoji- Best Emojis

Thinking Face Emoji

New to the scene, today’s version of the “thinker.” This one came out of left field, simply because most people don’t utilize the “thinker” to its best ability.

More social media users will bring forth their opinion if they know that someone on the other side is willing to listen. A lesson we all could learn! Let your viewers know that you are listening, you are curious, and you are most definitely mustering up a powerful thought to be shared among many. Most people just want to be heard! Social media is the best way to fulfill that need. Utilize the “thinker” next time you are aching for some feedback, the people will come to you!
