Dear sisters,
I want to start by saying that you're not alone. We're all in this together, and we make up a very unique sisterhood. It's not our faults that when we look at people, our piercing glare seems like it’s enough to kill someone.
We just can't help it.
And let's be honest, you're probably sitting there reading this with your bitch face on. And if you say no, then this probably isn't for you.
I'm here to say I know what you're all feeling. I'm tired of people judging me based off my face. I mean, I understand that's generally how human nature works, but have people not heard the saying "don't judge a book by its cover"?! Because I live for that saying.
The amount of times I've had people say to me "you know I thought you were a huge bitch at first but then I realized it's just your face and you're actually super nice," is enough for one lifetime.
And don't even get me started on the old men in super markets or department stores. I'll be waiting in a checkout line and a friendly looking older gentleman will say something along the lines of "you know, you would be even prettier if you smiled a little." Like come on, I'm standing in a checkout line with the milk my mom begged me to go get and this is taking forever because the 15-year-old at the register has no idea what he's doing. I'm sorry, I didn't realize I had to stand here with this stupid overbearing grin on my face. Please forgive me.
When I think about overly happy people like that, I think, well would I rather have my bitch face or be the girl that is just too happy and too much to be around? I’ll take the bitch face!
I just really can't help it. It's not my fault and I know it's not yours either. I'm just a serious person. It doesn't mean I'm not happy, it doesn't mean I'm a bitch, it just means I prefer staying cool, calm and collected. What's so wrong about that?
It sucks that people judge us immediately solely by our face. And what’s worse is that people are often intimidated by us, may not want to be our friend, and even shun or avoid us entirely. It’s just not fair.
But don’t just sit back and let the haters judge you! Remind people that you shouldn’t be discounted and rejected just because you don’t smile as much as others. And maybe even try and smile every now and then. We should be given a chance—girls with bitch face may actually be some of the nicest people you’ll ever meet.
