Bitchy Resting Face
"What's the matter?" "Are you okay?" "You should smile more." Ah, the perils of looking chronically pissed off.
Do you have "bitchy resting face" too? Discuss! (I especially want to hear what you do when you get the "smile more" request). Why are people so uncomfortable with a blank/slightly irritated look anyway? http://www.buzzfeed.com/erinlarosa/p...nderstand?bffb

I don't have bitch resting face, but I give off the "Mean girl" vibe so I've been told. I'm thinking because I'm around other women usually talking about appearances/how people or things look that I give off that impression. I'm not actually shallow, but I could see where if you didn't know me it would come off that way.

Bitchy resting face here.
Mostly a blessing because people leave me the heck alone, but i hear "what's the matter, and are you okay" alllllll the freaking time. Unfortunately when i get the "smile more" idiots, i usually tell them to fuck off, or if i can't, i just look them in the eye and say nothing; most just walk off quickly. |

I have the most evil maniacal grin I use to the "smile more" request. It's incredibly annoying. Or my favorite, "I will when you leave."

Bitchy resting face here. I HATE when strangers tell me I should smile. And if we're being honest, it's usually men who say that and usually women who are on the receiving end of that statement. Seriously, why are we expected to be smiling 24/7? If I am at the drug store (and there just seems to be something about the drug store with this happening)--I am just going about my business. I'm not living in a fucking musical.
When men tell me to smile I usually just give them a dirty look. Sometimes I will outright say no or I don't want to, and I will be totally deadpan about it. |

I think we should call it 'mean mug'... Bitchy face isn't doing it for me, but I can relate. If we were guys it'd be called serious face.
But I tend to get this pretty regularly or my personal favorite... 'You look intimidating'...Oh really? Just wait til I actually open my mouth.
