Bitchy Resting Face

SirenManda · 04-28-2014, 11:09 PM

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.

Ha ha! I love that.

I saw this article on why it's not okay to tell women to smile and related to it instantly:

Men (and I've never had it be anyone other than a man), who tell me to smile when I'm walking down the street engrossed in a serious or sad moment are policing my lapse of decorativeness.

Fuck them.

I have what I call Bitch Face.... When not smiling people assume I am angry and unhappy. I have actually practiced a face I call "happy relaxed". I was hoping that after a while it would become second nature. (I was sick of people always asking me what was wrong) It didn't stick. I find myself overcompensating by smiling like a maniac all of the time at people... now they just think I am overfriendly.
