I do not feel good

The ">⌓<" emote is typically used to convey a feeling of discomfort, unease, or illness. It can be interpreted as an "I do not feel good" or "I feel sick" emote.

The '>⌓<' expression captures that moment when you're trying to hide your disappointment but your face gives it away anyway like you're saying 'I'm fine, really' but your eyes are rolling in a different direction

At work it gets used when you want to show you're listening to criticism but also signaling you're not fully on board with it like you're balancing the team's feedback on one side of your face while your skepticism sits on the other
