The Cure For Resting Bitch Face
August 10, 2015
Most of the time I look pretty grim. Like I’m about to be caught doing something really bad. From what I understand, I suffer from Resting Bitch Face.
It doesn’t matter that I feel perfectly fine, it’s just that, as an introvert, I live inside my head.
The intensity thing sometimes gets in the way of having fun. I’m so busy being serious, that I forget to look around and have a good laugh. To do something mindless or silly in the name of fun.
Loosening up tends to be a problem I share with a lot of my coaching clients. (It’s why I developed the Menu of Fun as a giveaway on my site.) To this end, I’ve gotten big into assigning them (us) movies to make them (us) laugh.
Here are just a few of my all time favorites. Rent one tonight. You won’t be sorry.
1. Bridesmaids
2. The Heat
3. We’re The Millers
4. The 40-Year-Old Virgin
5. Rat Race
OK. Your mission, Jim, if you choose to accept it, is to have a good laugh.
I’d love to hear about other funny movies you’d recommend!

I’ve been accused of the RBF since college. Once at a job during coop semester, I was minding my own business walking down the stairs when an older gentleman stopped me and asked me why I wasn’t smiling, shouldn’t a pretty girl like me be happy? (He then asked me my opinion of the new Miss America who had been crowned that week and when I told him I had no interest, he was shocked, but that’s another story for another day)
So, that look finally has a name. The years haven’t been kind to my RBF, sorry to say. Gravity is a bitch.
But I have seen the first 3 movies on your list and they are a riot. Time to check out the other two…
