Crowned Image - 2014-06-02 10:02 AM I am pretty much in the same spot as you, moved with my boyfriend half way across the country in 2012 and have virtually no girlfriends all of them are back in Iowa. I have one beer and I become the nicest girl on the planet, but before the beer I come off as "snobby, cranky, irritated" because I'm naturally shy and have a mean mug that I don't do intentionally! I just don't have a nice and approachable relaxed face and I have to work on that. A photographer took a photo of me just sitting on my horse waiting to race, I was in a super mood and feeling really good that day and honestly I wouldn't even want to be in the same room as me with the look on my face! LOL Let girls know when they have great runs, talk to people and force yourself to get comfortable talking to horse show "strangers." And starting off with a compliment usually get you somewhere with others! I always like to make fun of myself too. For example if my horse is being naughty I will make the joke of what hospital I want to go to or something funny and most likely can get you a return response with others. Good luck to you! and you aren't alone! :)
Hahahahaha! B!tch face sucks. It's even worse when your smile is jacked up so you try not to smile because it frightens people worse than your b!tch face.
And I have been trying to change it so now it's just a p!ssy frown. it used to be a nostrils flared, scrunched up lips, and grinding teeth! Thanks to the show Big Tips Texas I realized I'm not alone in the world of B!tch Face! | |

Well, I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one with this problem.
When strangers tell me that I need to smile, something is wrong. I don't know what it is, but I just cannot force myself to look happy/approachable even when I am!

| I find it easy to take a deep breath and just walk up to people and introduce myself, shake their hand and tell them I am new to the area. I have not had to many people be snobbish and turns out I wouldn't have wanted them as friends anyway. Some times you just have to take a leap. Good luck meeting new people | |

"So, how'd you two end up such great friends?"
Me: "Well, she borrowed my feed scoop at a rodeo and after a few hours, I went to get it back and she took off running with it and yelled, you'll have to catch me if you want it back!.........so, I tackled her........then she started crying and said that I hurt her when I tackled her......and, that she really wanted a friend, but didn't know how to make that happen.....so, she borrowed/stole my feed scoop.....so, I figured if she's crazy enough to do that, she's going to fit in just fine with me. The end....now we're inseperable......literally, she's banana's and steals all my crap if I ignore her!" | |
