20 Real Struggles Of Having A Resting Nice Face

As defined in Urban Dictionary, resting nice face is:

A person who naturally looks 'nice' or 'approachable' when their face is expressionless, without meaning to. Basically the opposite of 'resting bitch face'

"Yo, imma holla at that girl over there"
"Nah, son. She just has resting nice face. She's a mad hoe"

Insightful.

Resting nice face: Is it a blessing or a curse? The world may never know. What I do know, is that if you, like me, have resting nice face, you know these 15 things all too well:

1. You get stopped on the street by solicitors and salespeople all the time.

I already support LGBT, please don’t ask for my money.

2. Old people talk to you on the bus/train/or plane all the time.

Last summer I was on the train home from Lollapalooza. I was wearing a crop top and short shorts and had the whole Lolla get up, and an old woman still told me her life story. Because she couldn’t resist the face.

3. It surprises people when you say something sassy.

4. Or when you have your own opinion.

5. And it especially surprises them when you swear.

6. People you don’t know very well tell you all their problems, as if you’ve been best friends forever.

7. Everyone either thinks they’ve met you before or thinks you “look so familiar!”

Oh, I must look like your friend who smiled once.

8. People hug you without asking.

9. Teachers always put you next to the bad kids in class because they think your "niceness" will rub off on them.

I sat next to the same annoying boy in every single class in the 7th grade and he never got the hint.

10. People always ask you for directions.

And then, they’re sad and confused when you don’t know which way is north or what street you're on.

11. Casually cool? More like casually foolish.

I’m sorry I said that.

12. Strangers always ask you to “watch their purse while they use the bathroom, just real quick?”

What if I were a really nice looking kleptomaniac?

13. Animals LOVE you.

But actually, you’re ok with this one.

14. Strangers say hi to you and smile at you as you’re passing by.

And it's usually just uncomfortable.

15. People ask you why you’re having such a good day, when it’s just your face.

I was actually having a really terrible day, thank you very much.

16. Sometimes resting nice face is equivalent to having a baby face, so you’re often mistaken for a middle schooler.

True story: I had to observe a 7th grade class last semester for my education class and when I walked in the first day, all the kids thought I was a new student.

17. You are known as “sweetheart” or “honey” to anyone older than you.


18. You get compared to tiny animals often.

Usually bunnies and kittens.

19. People ask you what your secret to being so happy all the time is.

20. But, you secretly love your resting nice face.


Whether you suffer from resting nice face or perhaps the more widely known resting bitch face, I'm sure your face is lovely and you are, too.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
