5 Times A Girl Comes Off Mean By Accident

Why girls are always assuming other girls suck.

5 Times A Girl Comes Off Mean By Accident
Huffington Post

Females are made out to be one of the most complex creatures to have ever walked the earth. And in some instances, girls can be very confusing. However, a lot of the mannerisms, actions, and ideas put out by females that often leave others perplexed, are actually just misunderstandings. Very often, there are girls being perceived as rude, snobby, or mean, all by accident.

I can personally vouch for the fact that there are plenty of girls being falsely accused of being for lack of a better term - crappy people, just for something as mundane as their body language, or the way they speak. Quite honestly, there's probably a solid amount of people who think I'm a wicked salty person just because they caught me at a bad moment.

1. Resting B*tch Face

For those of you who don't know, a Resting Bitch Face (shout out to Kanye for the killer demonstration), is the face you're making when you're totally calm, relaxed, or content. Like when you're walking in the hallway, waiting in line at the grocery store, or reading a book, but your rested face makes it seem like you're carefully contemplating the murder of the person next to you. Maybe it's just me, but I genuinely feel like if I had a happier looking "resting face", I'd probably have a hell of a lot more friends. Not to mention, the friends I do have, have told me on various occasions that they all thought I was extremely mean looking or even, one of my favorites, "like you were gonna curb stomp me if I said hi." If I had a nickel for every time I said, "it's just my face" during my high school career, I'd be rich enough to go pay for a happier looking one. I can almost guarantee that nine times out of ten, the girl you're looking at is probably real nice, and really that's just her face.


2. Catching her staring.

I can't tell you how many times I've been caught staring at a girl. Not because I'm judging her, and not because I'm hating on her. Honestly, I'm probably just trying to figure out how you do your make up so well or admiring how dope your outfit is that day. Thing is, we're not trying to look creepy, and if you're a victim of R.B.F., and you're caught staring at a girl, she's bound to think you're hating on her. Especially because, God forbid we smile at one another a little more, or give each other compliments when we think one another looks nice. Apparently, we'd all just rather live under the presumption that we hate one another.


3. Bathroom Etiquette

Ever be washing your hand next to another girl in the bathroom, eyeing one another out of the corners of your eyes pretending like neither of you notice? Those few seconds of intense bathroom silence are typically just the byproduct of shyness and awkwardness. I've made plenty of awkward eye contact with girls in restrooms, and instead of just saying hi to one another, you know, like human beings, we'll just stand there and pretend the other person doesn't exist. And you know what? You both walk out of there thinking the other girl's a snob. But in reality, one or both of us is probably either shy, or afraid the other girl is judging us.

4. She could just be quiet.

Yes, some girls are actually just shy or quiet. If you see a girl every day and have never heard her speak, it's probably not because she's a snob, but just because she doesn't feel like she has anything to say. If anything, her mind could be booming with thoughts about whether or not the people around her are judging her.

5. Being caught off guard.


As a result, since these days it is so uncommon for girls to actually be nice to one another, if it actually happens, I'm probably just gonna stare at you real confused for a couple of seconds before registering what you just said to me. I get it, you compliment a girl and she just stares at you like you've got six heads, you're bound to think she sucks. But actually, I'm probably just in shock that you were nice to me and I'm trying to figure out how to make my vocal chords function again. And when I do, it'll probably be a half-whispered 'thank you' that makes me seem even worse. She's not trying to sound snobby, she's just trying to recover from shock.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
