That Dior outfit made me think of this

Mind if I move into a neighboring cave, and our communication can henceforth always sound like we're on the verge of a Hatfield & McCoy-esque battle of insincerity?

In addition to those, I suffer from startling Julia Roberts Laugh. Sometimes I notice people reacting to it and I catch myself, mouth wide open, head thrown back like a muppet. SO LOUD! I'm sorry, world!

Oh dear - I also have unintentionally sarcastic voice. It still causes misunderstandings with my husband after 15 years. People used to tell me that I sounded like Darlene from Rosanne.

Correct! I have a couple of friends whose audible sincerity goes down to their bones, so I've taken to trying to emulate their intonation when I say please/thank you/sorry. No clue whether it makes me sound earnest, or if I just come across as even more of an ass.

I've been thinking about this. You know how people wear sunglasses even when it isn't sunny because they think it looks cool? Ignore that it doesn't for now. Well, we just need to make cool-looking condoms that people will want to wear for fashion purposes. We could make them with hoods, with buttons, with dragon…

Well, actually, it's a bass.

Plastic surgeons are capitalizing on it and women are getting corrective surgeries so they can appear more "cheerful" looking at all times.

He warned us, yet none would heed the warning.

Maybe if the world would stop stressing me out with all the rape, sex trafficking, female genital mutilation, anti-women's health autonomy shit, I wouldn't be so stressed all the damn time and my face might appear happy more often.

Hahaha, me too! My husbands is CONSTANTLY asking "What's wrong?" because of my bitchy resting face, and also thinks I am always always always being sarcastic/making fun of him.

I also have both bitch-face, and experience unintentional-sarcasm-voice about 50% of the time. The other half of the time I lapse into unintentional monotone, so people either think I'm constantly insincere, or there are inevitable piles of Daria Morgendorffer/Wednesday Addams/Lydia Deetz comparisons.

What about I-smell-a-fart face? Can we say this is a real thing, and a continuum of BRF? Because I had a boss and and anytime I (or any other women she obviously took issue with) would speak to her, she had this expression on her face like she had just smelled a fart. I did my best to not take it personally, but if…

Best response to being told to smile:

Aw. I have a professor who worked with small children for years before she got her doctorate and now when she praises us it doesn't sound sincere AT ALL.

I have the same problem! Even when I try to preface things with "Seriously" or "I'm not kidding," most people think I am being sarcastic. It's super annoying...

I come from a long line of BRF women. My grandmother, my mother and myself. One day I hope to be able to say to all those whose life goal seems to be to not mind their own business and tell me to SMILE all the time, a little something-something my grandmother would reply when smile-accosted: "If you don't like the…

"I really want to be your friend!"

Will my insurance cover BRF?
