A Guide to Interpreting My Snapchat Selfies
Sad Face: Pay attention to me.
Sad Face with hand-drawn sad faces: Why don’t you love me/Snapchat me back?
Mirror Pic: I’m wearing a cute outfit, and I want you to see it. (Does this mirror make me look fat or sexy?)
Close up of my mouth (open): I honestly had nothing better to Snapchat you.
Close up of my mouth (closed, possibly tongue showing, boy): I didn’t want to take a nude pic, so this will have to do. (But I considered it.)
Close up of my mouth (closed, girl): Do you like my new lipstick/chapstick, and is it making my lips look moisturized/plump/kissable?
Most of my face covered: I look gross, but I don’t want you to forget that my forehead/eyes/cheeks/etc. are still nice.
Cheesy Smile: Please boost my self-esteem by telling me I look cute.
Cheesy Smile with hand-drawn hearts: I like you because the last time I sent you a cheesy smile Snapchat, you told me I was cute/Snapchatted me back.
Surprised Face: I can’t wait to see you/Happy Birthday/Congratulations! And I think my face looks good like this.
Surprised Face with hand-drawn question marks: Why aren’t you here sending Snapchats to people with me?
Confused Face: What’s going on?!?! Are we cool? Are you mad at me?
Confused Face with hand-drawn question marks: No, really. Are you mad at me?
Half My Face, Cut down the middle: My hair only looks good on this side of my head today.
Grossed Out Face: I feel gross/fat/hungover, and it is potentially your fault.
