So I was told by my coworker this morning after work that she wasn't sure how to take me becuase I looked so mean and I never say much. I had to explain that I don't intend to look that way its just my face!
Anybody else have RBF and introverted as well?
I totally have RBF. I am not sad or mean or angry, this is just how my face looks.
Unfortunately, I have the opposite problem. People often think they should share deeply things of great import to them that I, frankly feel uncomfortable hearing.
@QuietEnt Luxury problems!
I don't think I've ever been told that but I was told that I was hard to read.
@QuietEnt I can hide what I'm feeling pretty well sometimes.
I used to have this problem, but I'm a very friendly person so I've forced myself to smile more. Eventually most of those forced smiles became muscle memory.
Typically, not only do I not say much, but I follow a "personal space = arm's reach"... I detour around people to stay out of their space, and back away when they get too close to me.
I've been called "standoffish" quite a few times.
I usually reply that I'm just respecting their personal space... and don't explicitly say "can you respect mine?"
don't know what RBF is but I agree that you have your face and people shouldn't take you at face value
Resting B**ch Face
@Booklover thanks for explanation. I don't think that applies to you
@TheDoubter why, thank you!
@Booklover just one Coloradan to another. I worked in Durango for 12 years
@TheDoubter Durango is a looooong way away from me. But, beautiful over there.
Gotta come clean I guess, your comment got me checking your profile and as far as I can tell, your face looks fine. I would say your coworker question was a bit odd, if anything.
People think I'm sad or grumpy when really I'm just filled with hate
