Relatable Resting Bitch Face Problems! - Okay Christina | Guest Week

-
Hey lovelies! It's Christina from the blog Okay Christina guest posting for Bria today!

When Bria asked me to write a guest post on a topic I felt strongly about, at first I thought about writing about either a post on fashion or beauty. But after a while of thinking I thought to myself, 'no, I want to write a post that I 100% feel passionate for'...

So here is my post on only things people with a resting bitch face will understand!

Now I've had a resting bitch face for practically as long as I can remember, but it never really came to my attention until it came to secondary school... Now for those who don't know what a resting bitch face is (otherwise abbreviated as RBF), according to the Urban Dictionary it is when you constantly have a mean, expressionless look on your face when you don't actually mean to.

You see I was I guess naturally born with a RBF, ever since I was born I've had this issue with my teeth and my jaw structure called an underbite which basically mean my lower set of teeth overlap my upper set of teeth, unlike normal children.



What I'm basically trying to say is that my jaw naturally sticks out meaning that I always look grumpy as hell. I'm so sick and tired of people asking me if I'm okay or telling me to smile, because most of the time I'm fine. I'm sure I'm not the only person who feels like this. I want to share with you  things that only people with a RBF will understand, so enjoy!

• Your mad face and happy face are the same

It’s hard to make new friends because they already think you’re a bitch. I’m really not! Honest!

• 9/10 times, people ask you if you’re feeling okay. Like, yeah I'm fine thanks...

You're think you're having a good day and you look happy and normal until someone catches a glimpse of you and asks you if you're having a good day... Like woah, do I really look that miserable?

• People always tell you ‘cheer up! It can’t be that bad’

All emotions blur into one mean scowl

• You constantly look like you’re in a bad mood

You fear that in the future you will scare away the love of your life with your RBF

• When you do smile for photos, it just looks forced and weird

People think you’re artificial and stuck up

Have you ever been accused of having RBF? Please share your stories below!

    This is so funny! I have RBF and the bus driver told me to cheer up today. I wish I had said something.

    I know exactly how you feel! I get this so bad! I look so mean whenever I just have my resting face on- I don't mean it!

A Clockwork Orange | 100 Movies Bucket List

Next up for the bucket list was a highly anticipated first-time watch. The first time I heard of this film was back in school during an English class - we had to pick classic films to write essays on and one of my classmates picked this one. I didn't completely know what it was about, but since then it has always been in the back of my mind to watch eventually. And it didn't surprise me at all that it was on this list. When I was trying to find somewhere to watch it, I did some accidental research about it. I had no idea it was so controversial, and seeing that made me want to watch it even more. But ultimately, I ended up having quite negative feelings on the movie as a whole. For one, I'm not someone who shies away from violent movies, even when the violence is graphic. But there was something about the violence in this movie that kind of put me off. It wasn't really about the violence itself, or the way it was done, but more about the character. It's hard to foll

The Great Dictator | 100 Movies Bucket List

Next up for the bucket list was a film that I hadn't heard of. I'm familiar with Charlie Chaplin, but moreso for his silent films than for anything else, so I didn't really have any idea what this film would be about. And once I did look up the premise, it wasn't one that I was particularly excited to see. I knew that it probably wouldn't be one of my favourites, so it wasn't a surprise that I didn't love it. For a start, as a fan of some of Chaplin's other movies, this movie felt very different, which caught me a bit off guard I appreciated the satire, but it might just be that it isn't as funny for a modern audience, or maybe that it's just not my kind of humour, but a lot of it didn't work for me. It also felt way longer than it needed to be. The runtime itself wasn't a problem as it's just over 2 hours, but a lot of the scenes felt like they could have been shorter. The themes of the film were very ambitious for when it was made.

Seven Samurai | 100 Movies Bucket List

  Next up for the bucket list was another movie I'd never heard of. The premise was an interesting one, but a 2.5 hour samurai movie wasn't something that I was itching to see.  Nevertheless once I started watching it I became really engrossed in the story and characters. For a start, the acting was great. Nothing about the film felt inauthentic, the characters felt like real people and when you're watching it, you're instantly rooting for them. This is also down to the writing and direction. Every aspect of the way the film is made has been done really well. While the film wasn't one of my favourites, there's no doubt about the way it has shaped cinema. It's regarded as one of the most 'remade, reworked, referenced' films in cinema, and the basic premise shows how true that is. I feel like I've seen a good few films based loosely on this premise and it always works because it's a classic underdog story. If you've never heard of this movi

Brokeback Mountain | 100 Movies Bucket List

  Next up was one of my most highly anticipated re-watches. I probably watch this film once a year - I love it too much not to watch it, but it's sad enough that I don't need to watch it more than that. I don't remember the first time I saw the film, but I remember the effect it has always had on me. The movie is so powerful, it has so much to say, with messages that could still be applied to the world today. I can't praise either the filmmaking or the performances highly enough. You can tell that the film was made with passion and respect, that everyone involved put everything they had into telling this story in the right way. And that includes the actors. Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal were phenomenal in these roles, their chemistry was amazing and I can't imagine anyone else playing these iconic characters. This film is also one of those rare cases where a movie is better than the book it's based on. The movie is based on a short story, and the story is a g

Her | 100 Movies Bucket List

This one was a re-watch that I was really looking forward to seeing again. I first saw it around the time Joker came out and I remember really liking it, so it was one that I saved until later in the bucket list so I could have something to look forward to. But weirdly, my experience of it was completely different on this re-watch. The things about the main character that I found endearing originally put me off this time around. I didn't really like the character at all and I couldn't connect with him. I also didn't find it as profound as I remember finding it the first time. The love story didn't feel as innocent or endearing and I never felt truly invested. I don't know if it's because of how AI-heavy the world is right now, but it just felt really weird. I do like the concept, but I think the characters are where it fell down a bit for me. And that's not to say I hated the film this time. I still think it's a good film that's well-made, it just wa
