Yes it is an emotional expression!
It emphasises the point they are trying to make

When leaving out words, or text sometimes it is prefered to add ... at end of sentence. Though this practice is not APA format.

they used it to create a feeling of excitement or surprise
secondly it means that the statement is not yet finished...
but the proper way of using it is only... (3 periods)

It is to express a pause as if speaking.
Example "You need to leave....now!"

Good answer,"Actor Girl"
I use it as a period, but not totally.

It could mean more to follow or signify something really mysterious.

It's called an ellipsis :-) And you can use it to trail off, or... you know, other stuff... like pausing, or being vague...

Yes....it is a visual reference to when people are....um....thinking. Or, they could be trailing off for you to fill in the rest, don't you think.........?
