14  Things People With Resting Smile Face Understand

If you thought resting bitch face came with problems, think again. People get just as confused when it comes to a resting smile face. Having RSF has been both a blessing and a curse. If I'm not resting in a small grin, then I'm full on cheesing. It gets weird. From spreading continuous joy with just a smile to laughing at inappropriate times, here a few things we can all relate to when it comes to a resting smile face.


1. "Why are you so happy?!"

You get asked this question all of the time. People either think you received phenomenal news or you are up to something sketchy. You never truly know how to answer this. The funny thing is that a lot of people treat happiness as if it's this big complicated thing. Our smile is proof that the secret isn't that far from any of us.

2. God forbid a moment when you don't smile. At least five people will come up to you and ask if everything is alright.

What's worse is they become suspicious of your response when you tell them nothing is wrong. Can't I just take notes in class and focus in peace, Margaret?!

3. You get approached very often and learn a lot about people. Maybe a little too much...

It's true. You'll make a friend everywhere you go and it's great! All of the stories and networking opportunities are a definite plus, but sometimes people give a little too much information about the time their sister ate rotten casserole and pooped on the deck and then.. yeah, I didn't want to know the rest either.

4. You let people down when they thought you were being flirty.

You think you're just exchanging a couple of words at the train station until they asks for your number. Sorry to break it to you, but I'm in a relationship that doesn't involve you. Even if I wasn't, I'm still in a relationship that doesn't involve you.

5. Sometimes you smile at the most inappropriate times.

It just my face, people. It's just my face.

6. People tell you it's okay to be upset or get angry.

We don't let the little things get to us because we don't have time or space for your negativity. And we're the biggest piece of work if you happen to get yourself on our bad sides.

7. And these same people get very happy for you when you do show another emotion.

When someone finally sees a bitchy side they offer a round of high fives. Boy, bye! You look stupid. You better high five yourself.

8. And some of these people get very offended.

If they aren't treating you like an adorable teddy bear, they get hurt at the fact that you could dare call them out. We never feel bad for this just like we never feel bad for our chronic smile.

9. Strangers often ask you for directions.

Why do you think I know how to get from New Jersey to Tennessee. Just take a left, man. Take a left away from me.

10. And for their picture taken.

Ready?! 1, 2, 3...

11. People assume you are dumb

The world isn't a nice place. When people see you with a constant grin they worry that you're a naive soul who has yet to experience reality. Here's a reality. Don't make assumptions.

12. The science behind a resting face is simply fascinating, huh?

There are studies that talk about the make up of a resting face. The expressions we make most are what train how our muscles act at rest. A resting bitch face doesn't necessarily conclude you're a mean person, but it could provide hints at your overall emotional being. I wonder what this could say about a resting smile face. Anyone?

13. The best part is that you're close friends cherish you and feel safe to open up.

You're basically a super hero and you've always got their back. No matter what.

14. And you always find a friend in someone anywhere you go.

This happens whether you like it or not so get used to it. I use it to my advantage. You never know what the conversation might bring whether it be a laugh or a lesson.



Do you suffer from RSF? Good. It confuses people.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
