What does make you think of?

Every time I think I might use it instead of a I stop, wondering if it's supposed to be comforting or sarcastic as in "there, there" pats on the head.

that head pat is sarcastic bless your heart pat pat

There there

Aw, diddums

Brain Warm : is that the english version of bless your heart?

Nimil : it’s not as polite as bless your heart, it’s more a sarcastic commiseration

Brain Warm - In the southern US, bless your heart is not polite at all. It means they think you're stupid.

No, I know but diddums is usually used when someone is hurt physically or emotionally and you think they’re being a wuss

Like piers Morgan, boycotting IKEA because they boycotted GB News

He’s against cancel culture

I like this one. It's cute and affectionate.

NAME 387 : yeah, Bless your heart means basically the person is defective someway and needs a blessing from god for support or allowances for their handicap. Used on a person not handicapped it's an insult.

I think the 1st emoji is:
a hairless parent removing lice from a small childs head
a snowman making an effigy to throw rocks at because of self-loathing.
a doctor performing a frontal lobe surgery of some type, like a lobotomy.
a fundamentalist christian faith healer removing the demons from a member of the congregation.

Thats all I got.

Max Graf - thanking the hooker for a job well done?

it could be that.

it's sarcastic/patronizing to me.

to me it's a parent stroking their child's head for comfort

OK, I deleted it because I don't want to accidentally be patronizing.

If I'm looking for a comfort emoji, I usually use this one.
