I'm getting tired of the term "resting bitch face" (i.e. the name for if people think you look angry when your face is just being neutral).
Like, the first time I heard it I was overjoyed. "I'm not the only one!" I thought. Because people have been telling me I look cranky (or my personal least favorite from strangers, the sarcastic "don't smile so much!") all my life.
But now that I hear it all the time, I am thinking it's a normal thing that a lot of people have and maybe you shouldn't feel bad about it and people should just know some people aren't capable of smiling 24/7 with a twinkle in their eye or whatever when they're mentally thinking about their grocery list, the name of the actor who played the character Tron in the movie Tron, or the other sort of minutia that wafts through my head that is neither negative nor positive. So, don't tell me "don't smile so much!" sarcastically or that people look like bitches just because they don't look like you think they should.
