Anguished Face

A yellow face with wide, frowning eyes and a small, distressed mouth.

The Anguished Face emoji reflects a mix of shock, worry, or emotional distress. With wide eyes and a tense expression, it suggests that something bad just happened—or is about to.

Common uses include:

• Reacting to bad or dramatic news
• Expressing fear, nervousness, or panic
• Capturing that “oh no…” moment of realization
• Amplifying drama or emotional tension in a situation

😧 is often used in storytelling posts, dramatic reactions, or chats about stress. While not quite as intense as 😱, it’s perfect for moments of emotional dread, regret, or sudden fear.
