* emotional hyperarousal
* rejection sensitivity

Kinda tempted to start writing "Google" thus: G👀gle

'Cos, y'know, when everybody first got cross with Microsoft and stuff, "M$" was basically the best we could do with ASCII, right? But now it is absolutely time we enlisted the full address space of Unicode in developing better online passive-aggressive typing habits.
