Chronic Bitchface

 

 

From the artist, Kris Atomic:

Just doing my bit to spread awareness for this common, but little understood condition. Thousands around the world are affected by chronic bitchface, with sufferers having to endure being told to “SMILE” and “cheer up” by well meaning, but irritating strangers. There is no known cure.

    This made my day because it makes so much sense…I married a red head.

    I have the opposite problem–chronic cheer face. Sometimes I’ll be walking down the street and people will think I’m smiling at them. Usually I like getting smiles back, but sometimes guys think it means I want to talk to them. No thank you!

    Ack! Ha! This happens to me ALL the time. I always feel bad or guilty when told to smile, but now I will just think of this and smile whenever it happens.. thus ironically curing my chronic face condition. Win, win!

    Well isn’t this all to true! I even have the glasses…and let me tell you the best part is when guys demand you take them off and smile for them, just so they can say something along the lines of, “See how much prettier you are without the glasses.”

    I no longer fulfill this request 🙂

    I encourage everyone to scope out my profile pic…it really is uncanny! Thanks for the late morning laugh!

    just like Annie above I too suffer from chronic “smiley face”. it’s not like i’m walking down the street with a big ol’ goofy smile on my face but a nice simple one.
    i can’t help myself but it does lead to strangers approaching me. but usually it just makes their day so i won’t be looking for a “cure” anytime soon ; )

    If you seem just frigid enough, people won’t dare tell you to smile… or even try to speak to you

    I have the glasses and bitchface too! Every time someone tells me to smile I think the bitchface gets worse! It’s not that I’m in a bad mood just usually lost in thought.

    i have plagued with this my whole life. i think because i have small features, especially small lips, that people just think i’m in a bad mood all time. it’s kind of annoying, the judgement that comes with it. love this little illustration!

    Oh gosh, I get that all the time. Now I have a response. “Sorry, it’s bitchface!”

    Notice how it’s always MEN that think your facial expression has something to do with THEM. Either you’re naturally smiley and they think you’re flirting with them or you have Bitchface and they think they have the right to tell you to smile. I have Bitchface and I’ve never been told to “smile” by a woman.
