      Do you too use a lot of emojis? Then you must know what study found out about people who use happy emojis.

      A new study published in Frontiers in Psychology revealed that people also use emojis to hide their real emotions along with expressing themselves. Researchers observed 1,289 volunteers from Japan using emojis in response to online conversations. They found that participants used happy emojis mostly to hide negative emotions.

      More negative emojis, such as sad face emojis, were only used in case of very strong negative feelings.

      It was thus concluded that people mostly use positive emojis when they feel negative but do not want to express or when they talk to people, they do not want to hurt or cause trouble for.
