what is a rbf

RBF stands for "resting bitch face," which is a facial expression that unintentionally creates the impression that a person is angry, annoyed, irritated, or contemptuous, particularly when the individual is relaxed, resting, or not expressing any particular emotion. It is a real phenomenon that has been studied by behavioral researchers, who want to understand why some people have it and what it means in terms of a persons psychology. While RBF is often associated with women, it can occur in both men and women. Despite its negative connotations, having RBF does not necessarily mean that a person is actually angry or unfriendly.
