Are we really still calling it that?
Ok, seriously, I have a huge problem with the term “resting bitch face.”
First let me say, I HAVE SAID IT BEFORE. NUMEROUS TIMES.
Ok. Now then, let me tell you why this is bullshit and we need to stop.
- Theres no such thing. Why on earth would we tell another human that their normal, relaxed, content, birth face make them look like a bitch??? Um, no. Insecure people say this to blame someone else. (when I said I used this term, I’d like to note it was about myself.)
- Its a cop out. People say this to defend their intimidation. Usually against a woman. They should own up to their own intimidation.
- “Bitch face” or “stink eye” is different from “resting bitch face.” Resting implies that said person is chillin, minding their own business, and staying in their own lane. So why would this make them a bitch?
Have you been accused of having RBF?
Then you have probably heard it more than once. And have probably even agreed. I know I have. But its bullshit. I can be having a great time and be accused of RBF. Ridiculous. I have heard so many variations of this over my adult life and its quite ridiculous at this point.
I spent years of my life fake smiling just so I won’t be perceived as something I’m not. Ironic right?
Instead of listening, I’m thinking about my face. Which means I wasn’t really listening as well as I could. Which actually makes me a bitch. haha.
Why can’t I just have the face I was born with be enough? No one should have to fake expressions. I do it with tattoo customers a little. But thats more of a comfort thing.
The whole god damn thing is literally a guised insult to cover up someones intimidation and insecurity.
Stop telling other people they have RBF. Im sure they have heard it before. Why not instead try not to be an insecure little troll and just talk to people normally without judging facial expressions. Because thats what its about right? Expectation of how someone should look, listen, react or be welcoming?
Lets just get over ourselves and stop trying to push our own shit on other people. K?
K thanks. Bye.
