RBF, or resting b*tch face, is a serious condition that many people suffer from worldwide. Suffers are often bombarded with daily questions such as "Are you OK?" and "Why are you so mad?" If you have RBF, you've probably had numerous people tell you to "just smile!"

While this question trend can get annoying, there are a couple of pros to having RBF.

For example, you are never stopped by people in the mall trying to sell you stuff, and it's secretly fun to hear that someone was a little intimidated by you when you first met.

That being said, the downside is that people always think you hate them and social events are tragic because you always looked pissed off or bored. In the end, no matter how extreme your RBF is, you probably encounter/have encountered a handful of these 11 situations.

1. When you meet new people, they automatically assume you hate them or are rude.

But the whole time you talked to them you tried really hard to seem happy and friendly and genuinely thought you pulled it off.

2. People are constantly asking you if you're OK.

And you can't help but roll your eyes, which probably doesn't help your case.

3. After being friends with someone for a while, they confess to you, "I thought you were so mean when I first met you," or, "I thought you hated me."

Not like you haven't heard that before. It's expected and doesn't even come as a surprise anymore.

4. You get told to smile more, but they don't understand how scary that would be.

You smiling 24/7 is way worse than your mean face. Trust me.

5. You're always labeled as seeming "judgy."

You gave up on trying to convince everyone that it's just your face!

6. Passing a friend with your RBF in full force and not realizing you just shot them a death glare.

Whoops. Better go send them an apology text.

7. Being sarcastic, but everyone thinks you're outright rude.

Probably because your face doesn't really signal that you're joking, but you've learned to make it clear you're just kidding by laughing obnoxiously.

8. Not knowing how mean you really look until you see a picture of yourself in resting face.

And you think, "maybe that's why people don't talk to me..."

9. Your apologies never sound sincere because of your emotionless face.

It's a cold world out there for people with RBF.

10. Your "mad face" scares you.

*shudders*

11. And, lastly, people are constantly asking you if you are happy or having a good time because you look bored to death.

"I can't repeat it enough that it is just my face."

College students, you might be able to relate to this one. These probably sound familiar because we often tell ourselves these phrases; however, we are unable to follow or agree with these the following, deep down inside of our overwhelmed, tired minds.

1. "No more spending money on useless things"

Until you walk into a 99 cents store and suddenly have the urge to pick up anything that's less than a dollar.

For the past few months, I have not been my usual happy-go-lucky-self for a number of reasons, but one thing that has been helping me is to think about all of the little things in my life that I am thankful for. I know this might seem really cliché, but it is so true. I cannot stress enough how much better I feel when I think about all the great people and privileges I have in my life. It makes all of the insignificant things that I am stressing about or worrying about in my head seem not nearly as bad. I have decided to make a list of 26 things (out of many more) in my life that I am especially thankful for.
