I think you overestimate human flexibility. We're hardwired for all kinds of face-to-face interaction. It's almost certain that emogies or no, no matter the amount of training, you're never going to gain the level of social insight and empathy while texting that you could have had face-to-face.
You may have huge brain and trillions of times of the computing capacity of a simple calculator, but it's still going to beat you at arithmetic. Know your limitations and embrace your strengths. You're not some general purpose machine; what's the point in pretending otherwise?
