According to Urban Dictionary, resting bitch face (RBF) is defined as “a person, usually a girl, who naturally looks mean when her face is expressionless, without meaning to.” We can’t help what our face looks like when we’re just chilling in class. We’re not mad, we promise. It’s just…our face.

If you suffer from RBF then you know all too well what it’s like.

You constantly look annoyed.

Everyone always asks, “why do you look so angry?”

You constantly have to explain to people that you’re not mad. It’s just your face.

You really don’t notice how you look until you see pictures of yourself.

And everyone around you looks so happy and you feel self-conscious.

When you go out your friends always look so happy compared to you.

You always complain that you don’t have a boyfriend but you always walk around like:

Everyone in your classes think you’re always in a bad mood.

It’s hard for you to make friends because everyone assumes you’re a bitch.

You’re really a lot nicer than your walking to class face would suggest.

Your mom is always telling you to smile in public.
