Ok first, go watch this video - Tavi Gevinson on Jimmy Fallon 9/13
Disclaimer: Previously, I was not a fan of Tavi. I was a hater. But, and that's a big but, she just captured my heart with her take on the bitch face. Genius.
She then went straight through to my heart (and captured my soul) with her stance on the chronic bitch face. Yes! Yes, yes, YES! I have longed for the day to properly describe this condition. You see, I too have the chronic bitch face. I know all about people asking, "do you smile, ever? Is everything okay?" Listen, I can't control my face. I have never had that ability from as long as I can remember. Unless I am blissfully and amazingly happy or devastatingly sad, my face pretty much has a mind of its own. I feel like this condition has really played a huge part in forming friendships. Really all it is is that I have this crazy connection in my head. I hold conversations without people knowing. (I probably definitely should not have said that.) But, if you also suffer from chronic bitch face you will totally get what I'm saying.
I'm not a big talker. Some ladies are great with the non-stop chatter, but sometimes they too hold a terrible condition... diarrhea of the mouth, ever heard of it? I like to think that I have a really great filter inside that stops me from saying things that should not be said out loud. Not all of the things are terrible, don't get me wrong, but once something is said you can't take it back. I rather look like a fool by saying nothing then be made a fool by having it said. So, this bitch face thing is really just my own reaction to the garbage I think of. I'm really giving myself the dirty look - like, "really? you did NOT just think that." It's not always reactionary like that though. Most of the time, my face does what it wants when it wants. It has no regard for time/place/social function. I think I smile, but it doesn't smile. Made of stone.
Anyway, everyone has something I guess. So tell me, do you suffer from one of these social inept's? Please tell me I'm not the only one!
