They are not on purpose!

They look at you frowningly, frown and seem to hate the whole world! In fact, it is not, writes Eva.ru. Contemptuous facial expression does not always reflect the character. There is even scientific evidence for this: a few years ago, scientists became interested in this phenomenon and, using a computer program, came to the conclusion that there is no direct connection between emotions and facial expression. That is, many people do not control facial expressions in a relaxed state.

The term “bitchy face syndrome” (resting bitch face) appeared on the Internet after an incredibly popular video in which girls tell how this very face prevents them from living a normal life. You have not had time to say or think about anything, but everyone has already drawn conclusions, moreover incorrect ones!

The curious syndrome has even become the subject of research by scientists. With the help of a computer program they established: there is no direct connection between facial expressions and emotions. However, family psychologist Alexander Shakhov dug deeper. He states: a bitchy face is a priori a background indicator of a person’s psychological state.

RBF syndrome is a consequence, not a cause.

Often bitchy face is typical for teenagers. Behind the mask of contempt and indifference they hide their vulnerability. But if we see such a face in an adult, it means that emotionally he still remained at the level of a teenager, when a person asserts himself by devaluing those around him.

“A haughty, scornful attitude towards people - where does it come from?” This is a mask, an armor that hides a vulnerable soul and self-doubt. In order not to experience the pain of rejection, some people decide to devalue others beforehand, because if you are not accepted by “unworthy”, then there is no offense: “What can they, poor people, understand?” Explains Alexander Shakhov.

Self-doubt prevents live!

Psychology has long proved that high healthy self-esteem is the basis of high-quality life. Without it, neither harmonious relations, nor creative realization, nor general satisfaction with the present are possible. After all, no matter how much money you earn, how many heights in your career, nor reach, as long as you are not satisfied with yourself - there will be no happiness. Therefore, it is possible to fight with a bitchy face in only one way - to raise self-esteem and develop self-confidence.

How to find out if you have a bitchy face?

“You can ask others directly whether you express contempt and arrogance towards them? But it will be safer to ask a question to yourself: “Do I really respect and appreciate others?” If not, then be sure that you have a bitchy face, ”adds Shakhov.

Even if you cover your face with a cardboard box, the other person will still understand how you feel about him. Judge for yourself, even when talking on the phone, we create in our imagination a portrait of the speaker, endowing him with certain features, and rarely when we make mistakes. “Therefore, do not try to paint over, cover up, hide flaws. Work on yourself, treat self-esteem, and soon you will notice how much easier it became for you to communicate with people, ”summed up the psychologist.
