- professional use
- Rarely appropriate in professional contexts but occasionally appears in posts by younger professionals sharing relatable work-life struggles in a self-deprecating way.
- post context
- Used carefully in storytelling posts to add a human, emotional touch โ e.g., 'After 200 rejection emails ๐ญ I finally landed my dream job.' Signals authenticity.
- appropriateness
- Low appropriateness in formal posts, moderate in personal narrative posts. Overuse is seen as unprofessional. Context-dependent and generational.
- comment use
- Occasionally used in comments on relatable or heartwarming posts to express being moved. More accepted in comment sections than in original posts.
