The Resting Bitch Face

For those who don't know, Resting Bitch Face (as defined by the well sourced Urban Dictionary), is defined as "a person, usually a girl, who naturally looks mean when their face is expressionless, without meaning to." The Mona Lisa is a classic example of Resting Bitch Face.

Everyone knows that people's immediate reaction of someone is judged on their disposition. You can see then, how for those suffering with Resting Bitch Face, this is thus somewhat problematic. Assumptions run wild!

It's funny that something as simple as an expression can have such a profound effect on how people interact with you. Here's a little survival guide for the next time you're stuck in a Resting Bitch Face situation!

5 things you should know about people with Resting Bitch Face

1. Despite appearances, those with RBF are not completely apathetic. Nor have they recently swallowed a sour grape. That's just the way their face is.

2. No matter how many times in a day you ask 'Are you ok?' to someone with RBF the fact is they will still be fine. (Unless they really aren't fine) Looks can be deceiving.

3. Just because they do not jump around like a bunny on crack over the weather report, does not mean they are emotionally inept.

4. Do not assume that people who suffer with RBF are judgemental/hate them/are generally disinterested in anything that comes out of, well, pretty much any orifice in their body.

5. Don't believe that confirming the emotional state of those with RBF avoids conflict. If they are angry, you'll know about it!
