😱
Face screaming in fear
Meaning
The 😱 Face screaming in fear emoji shows a face with wide-open eyes and mouth, symbolizing extreme shock or terror. This emoji is often used to express feelings of intense fear, horror, or surprise. It’s inspired by the famous painting “The Scream” by Edvard Munch, which captures a similar expression of existential dread and panic. Unlike its related emojis, such as 😨 Fearful face which suggests a milder form of fear, or 😰 Anxious face with sweat indicating worry or nervousness, 😱 conveys a stronger, more overwhelming sense of fear. It’s perfect for moments when words can’t fully express the magnitude of your fright or astonishment.
