RBF is a terrible ailment that affects so many of us. RBF is resting bitch face, a condition in which one's face always appears to be upset, grouchy or just down right bitchy. You probably don't even know you suffer from RBF until someone tells you. You're probably just going about your day, thinking about that yummy pizza you're going to have for lunch, but unfortunately, your face looks like you want to kill someone. If you have RBF, you can probably relate to at least one of these.
1. "You always look so angry."
I wasn't angry until you said that!
2. "You need to smile more."
Who walks around with a big smile plastered on their face anyways?
3. "You look scary."
Don't judge a book by its cover!
4. "I thought you were a bitch when we first met."
Aw, thanks! So glad we are friends now.
5. "Are you ever happy?"
Yes, most of the time actually - until I am asked these questions. But thanks for your concern!
6. When you try to smile, it probably just looks like this:
7. You could be super excited about something, and still look like this:
The perfect poker face, all the time.
I've had to train myself to make a conscious effort to smile now. My cheeks actually hurt - I don't know how peppy people do this all the time. All jokes aside, I really am a nice person, and this really just is "my face."
