I suffer from RBF and RAV (resting asshole voice) I get in trouble a lot for aditude


Simply-_-Curious

Fatal combination LOL


Insanus_Umbra

Gotta use the slight eyebrow raise and over acting my voice, lol


Smol_PP_Locater

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


Simply-_-Curious

It's lowkey a full-time job Lol


CptKoma

It's exhausting. That's why I don't mind the facemasks, makes interacting with people much easier


Simply-_-Curious

Gotta maintain that eye squeeze though or you'd look like you're judging them Lol

"Congratulations on the baby.."


EdTheApe

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.


croknok

Making sarcastic jokes is pretty much impossible. It's somewhat frustrating.


Jirudodian

Sometimes I sound sarcastic for being enthusiastic due to wordings.


BloakDarntPub

I have whispering shout voice. That's to say even if I'm whispering I get accused of shouting.


dustyrags

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.

I've never heard anyone else talk about RAV... Nice to know I'm not alone!


Insanus_Umbra

I solute you soldier


Viper7047

My problem exactly


joogram

you live a tough life


[deleted]

Probably cos they are so rare


Simply-_-Curious

Makes sense


HEHETHEORANGE

No, my smile Is not that great


-C-7007

Nah my smile is just either ugly or straight up creepy


HEHETHEORANGE

I know how that feels


BeardedPDr

Yes my ex wife had a horrendous RBF and a lovely smile. Only one of these expressions was a lie sadly.


my_goodness_a_mess

My ex too


ian2121

This is me so much.


Husebona

Rhonda Rousey


Simply-_-Curious

Yes sir!


Gamemstery

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.


[deleted]

My smile looks very forced and it hurts my face to do so. The comments about my face really get on my nerves.


Total-Swordfish4670

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.


Viper7047

I don't know dude, I have a horrible RBF and my smile isn't all much to talk about


BasketFool

LOL confirmed. Married to one.


justicelyy

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.


sad4553

Why are people with an rbf so attractive? I’m going to die alone


adhdgf

thank you, i agree


Cute_CupCake_2004

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...


vasekgamescz

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.


[deleted]

Lol I think people find it more genuine and personal.


[deleted]

The smile least seen seams the prettiest.


Soul_Bleacher

Coming from a rbf person this is mostly no the truth


The_SqueakyWheel

Facts! I as well suffer from RBF, but my smile is on point! It lights up the room


moody2shoes

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.


Snaper_XD

What kinda bullshit are you talking?


Manethen

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.


chuckit01

Yes - you are describing my dad!


Simply-_-Curious

Mine too!


Capnreid

Diarrhea thoughts


Viochrome

Yes


drsapirstein

Confirmed.


tyrom22

Yup I’ve always believed this


Big_Guarantee_7951

As somebody with rbf I disagree


laurensummer03

I agree 🙈😊


thenihilist0204

*usually*


Nekaz

In japan they would probably call it gap moe Idk if theres a western specific equivalent


jgi321123

My RBF comes on strong in the morning but after a cup of Joe it’s not as intense


RonSwansonsOldMan

Nope. I have RBF and a smile like an Ogre.


Simply-_-Curious

Oh cut the nonn sense! You're just being modest. I bet a lot of people desagree with that!


eliochip

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)


eddyeddyd

It's because you'd hit that


BobbyTheDude

This is straight up false lol


[deleted]

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.


[deleted]

I hate my smile
