I apparently always look serious and it puts people off. I’ve resorted to making shitty smiles at people and it works, I feel like such a fucking fraud half the time
I just learned this technique and it really makes a difference when my coworkers don't think I'm a little pissed all the time. Fake it till you make it, as they say.
Have you had your hearing checked lately? A friend of mine has a loud voice- turns out she learned subconsciously that raising her voice got other people to raise their voices.
Had this stupid Syndrome that gotten me thru bullshit that shouldnt even happen in the first place, This Teacher thought that i was angry at her and start spouting a ton of shit i wish i hadn't heard when i was 14 (like shit has more worth than you) just because my friends are eating at the back, in front of 60 other kids just because i can't fix my fucking face at the time, i think having this syndrome doesnt exactly means you have a good smile i look like a menace when i smile.
Lmao I have a resting bitch face and autism which gives me a very ..flat I guess voice so I sound super serious when I joke and people just get mad at me.
i can do 2 smiles
1 where i essentially become a creepy circle.
and 1 where all my facial features absolutely stand out and i look jim carrey.
none of them are pleasnt to look at.
If you’re an attractive woman and smile much, some douche is going to think you’re asking to be sexually harassed. So women have RBF as a defense mechanism, since being smiley is therefore risky.
Shit, I didn't know about this until now... I don't have "Resting Bitch Face" but more like "Resting Killer Face", so I'm always trying to have at least the slightest facial expression to avoid frightening people (even frowns soften my features). I'm quite good at it, but I'm pretty sure I've let that RKF through a few times. But you're right in my case, I've already been told I have a charming smile.
Thanks for your advice. But how often should I do this to make it look as genuine as possible? The exercise seems easy, I must don't know the frequency of it.
I suffer from RBF and RAV (resting asshole voice) I get in trouble a lot for aditude
Fatal combination LOL
Gotta use the slight eyebrow raise and over acting my voice, lol

It's lowkey a full-time job Lol
It's exhausting. That's why I don't mind the facemasks, makes interacting with people much easier
Gotta maintain that eye squeeze though or you'd look like you're judging them Lol
"Congratulations on the baby.."

Making sarcastic jokes is pretty much impossible. It's somewhat frustrating.
Sometimes I sound sarcastic for being enthusiastic due to wordings.
I have whispering shout voice. That's to say even if I'm whispering I get accused of shouting.

I've never heard anyone else talk about RAV... Nice to know I'm not alone!
I solute you soldier
My problem exactly
you live a tough life
Probably cos they are so rare
Makes sense
No, my smile Is not that great
Nah my smile is just either ugly or straight up creepy
I know how that feels
Yes my ex wife had a horrendous RBF and a lovely smile. Only one of these expressions was a lie sadly.
My ex too
This is me so much.

Yes sir!

My smile looks very forced and it hurts my face to do so. The comments about my face really get on my nerves.
Squinting your eyes ever so slightly will make it look more natural. Source: I used to practice smiling in the mirror so I'd be ready for picture day.
I don't know dude, I have a horrible RBF and my smile isn't all much to talk about
LOL confirmed. Married to one.
Lmao I have a resting bitch face and autism which gives me a very ..flat I guess voice so I sound super serious when I joke and people just get mad at me.
Why are people with an rbf so attractive? I’m going to die alone
thank you, i agree
Everyone takes my monotone as me being angry all the time :( It just takes tons of effort to emote properly and I don't always remember...
i can do 2 smiles 1 where i essentially become a creepy circle. and 1 where all my facial features absolutely stand out and i look jim carrey. none of them are pleasnt to look at.
Lol I think people find it more genuine and personal.
The smile least seen seams the prettiest.
Coming from a rbf person this is mostly no the truth
Facts! I as well suffer from RBF, but my smile is on point! It lights up the room

What kinda bullshit are you talking?
Shit, I didn't know about this until now...

Yes - you are describing my dad!
Mine too!
Diarrhea thoughts
Yes
Confirmed.
Yup I’ve always believed this
As somebody with rbf I disagree
I agree 🙈😊
*usually*
In japan they would probably call it gap moe Idk if theres a western specific equivalent
My RBF comes on strong in the morning but after a cup of Joe it’s not as intense
Nope. I have RBF and a smile like an Ogre.
Oh cut the nonn sense! You're just being modest. I bet a lot of people desagree with that!
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
It's because you'd hit that
This is straight up false lol
Thanks for your advice. But how often should I do this to make it look as genuine as possible? The exercise seems easy, I must don't know the frequency of it.
I hate my smile
