Knowing when a friendship is toxic is crucial to maintaining healthy relationships – but when you have a friend who constantly uses the cry-laughing emoji for even the faintest of jokes, how can you know for sure?

Results:
Mostly 1’s: She’s just basic! Don’t worry – some people just aren’t clued into why the cry-laughing emoji is an absolutely psychotic thing to use casually. Next time, drop her a hint that she can just use the “haha” react or say “lololol”. She’ll get it eventually!
Mostly 2’s: She’s deeply toxic and should be avoided at all costs. If someone that clued in to the world is still casually using the cry-laughing emoji like it’s nothing at all, she will hurt you eventually, if she hasn’t already. This woman is a danger to society and likely a danger to herself.
