In all seriousness, I discovered I had BRF in just recent years. People were pretty rude to me even when I wasn't trying to be rude or mean to anyone. They would always tell me to smile, that I look bored, sad, etc. when I was often just being neutral. It was somewhat insulting and I couldn't understand why people would always pick on me. On the upside, people are usually surprised to find out that I'm nicer than they thought.
Of course now that I'm older, nobody really says that anymore, and I could care less what they think of my BRF.
Someone mentioned animals with BRF and resting happy faces. Sharks vs. dolphins? Poor sharks.

I have a friend who hears that all the time. She is very attractive, but she has a sort of haughty, 'I'm-better-than-you-are" look to her, and she sometimes doesn't speak to people. I knew her for years at work, and I thought she was one stuck-up biotch, and so did most people I hung out with.
Years later, we ended up working together, and one day she walked in to my office when I was eating lunch at my desk and going over some personal papers. I explained to her that I liked to write and was editing my draft to submit a short story. Turned out she was a can't-quit-the-day-job writer, too. We got talking, and now, many years later, we are fast friends who have gone to writing retreats together. And now I know she is painfully shy. She has heard all her life from people who got to know her and told her they thought she was aloof and stuck-up, and she just has a hard time in social situations. I think the fact that she is so pretty didn't help, either. There are judgments and assumptions that go along with being attractive, and as a not-so-attractive person, I have been guilty of making those judgments and assumptions myself. We tend to think someone has it made because they are good-looking.
As far as Vivian Leigh goes, she was beautiful, but mental illness destroyed her life and marriage.

This is me, all day long lol. Someone told me that to my face once. "You are pretty, but you look like a b****."
I have always wondered - how people 'look' stuck up?? How can you tell unless you talk to them?

Her lips always look sort of pursed, as if she's a bit disdainful of everyone around her.
Her coloring is different, but this is very similar to the way my friend's face looks. If someone was looking at you like this, wouldn't you think she was a b*tch?
I was thinking of this thread today. I took the PATH train in to NYC, which is a rail rapid transit system in which people are sitting across from one another or standing. I looked at different faces and tested my reaction to them. It's amazing how many times "stupid" or "b*tchy" or "upset" came to mind, and they might not have been. One woman was the type who looked upset, as if she might cry. I watched her, and she was just reading the free newspaper, then put it away and looked around, etc. I think she was fine. She just had an about-to-burst-into-tears face.

I mean is walking around not smiling really an issue?
Depends,but the incident in the OP happened in Philly.
That is also why i never understood how people say NYC is full of nasty people.
I have 80% positive experiences in NYC.

I can attest to this or is it my $80 moisturizer?
