If you have ever been told, “I thought you hated me” or “Before I knew you, I thought you were so mean,” you probably suffer from B*tchy Resting Face (BRF). As someone who has heard these statements throughout her life, I can tell you we don’t mean to come across as rude or b*tchy. Most of the time when I’m sporting my “b*tch” face, I’m not thinking about the person I’ve just made eye contact with; I’m usually thinking about food, the TV shows I’ve missed, homework or my weekend plans.
On behalf of girls suffering from B*tchy Resting Face, I promise we are not mad at you. It’s impossible to always be angry or upset. So if you see a girl around campus who always has a mean look, cut her some slack. She is probably just in a rush to get somewhere. You don’t need to ask her if she is ok, 9 times out of 10, she’s probably fine. I can guarantee that she is aware of her “b*tchy” face and there is nothing she can do about it. Having “b*tch” face is not a choice; its just the way we were born.
To all the girls suffering from B*tchy Resting Face, wear your “b*tchy” faces with pride! The benefit of having a “b*tchy” face is that most people are too scared to mess with you. If you are in a public place, and don’t feel like talking to anyone, people tend to leave you alone. Embrace your B*tchy Resting Face because its what make you unique!
