Shrug Donger
All meanings
It's like someone says they don't know but with a shrug and a hint of maybe they do, caught between confusion and indifference
This look is common when someone is trying to keep peace in a situation where they're not sure what to think, but don't want to take a side
When you see this in a text message it feels like the person is closing the conversation, not because they're done but because they don't care to keep going
In meetings or at work this face means someone's job is to show up but not to add anything, like a silent observer who might as well be invisible
You see this a lot when people are trying to decode social cues they don't understand, like reading a foreign language without a dictionary
