Embracing My Resting B— Face

My whole life I’ve been asked repeatedly: “Are you ok?” “What’s wrong?” “Are you mad?” “Are you mad at me?” “Smile!” Can YOU relate??

I’ve seriously considered having a shirt made that says: “I’m Fine!!!!! I’m not mad, or sad. Yes I do like you. No I’m not judging you….well maybe not this time…and by the way I am smiling.”

As masks are starting to come off, and we are seeing everyone’s wonderful faces again I thought I would offer this list of perks for my RBF cohorts out there:

1. Unapproachable  Sales people and strangers usually leave you alone. You get plenty of space on public transit, and awkward conversations are avoided.   

2. Never have to start a conversation Someone will usually ask you if you are ok, or what’s wrong? 

3. Built in poker face You’re hard to read so use that to your advantage.

4. People take you seriously You give off a “I’m here to do business” kind of vibe, and you have to use your words to express yourself more so than non-RBFers. Your peers listen to what you have to say.

5. No Awful Driver’s License Photos You can be yourself…..”don’t smile”……no problem!

6. Smiling gives you wrinkles, resting bitch face keeps you pretty.

You are less prone to smile lines, crow’s feet, and those creases people get between their eyebrows. I hope I could give a few chuckles, and a smile…RBFers I can feel your smile.

I have love for all you non-RBFers too! I enjoy seeing you smile, and watching your animated faces as you regale stories, eat food, or give directions. I can help stave off those laugh lines and crow’s feet though…next time you see me ask me about Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture.
