[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another perspective from someone who has lived East Coast, PNW, & the South.

If I'm at the grocery store, and your cart is blocking me, I might just stand there. I'm not pissed at you, I'm not being passive aggressive, I'm just letting you finish deciding which pasta sauce you want before moving on. I'm not in a rush. Sorry if my RBF makes you read so much into nothing. [/quote]

Ain't nobody round here pressed by yo' restin' biotch face. Now, you wanna roll your eyes, and start muttering under your breath... we can have words right now. [/quote]

Exactly.  It amazes me how people on the west coast think we care about a glance.  We don't.  If you've got something to communicate with me, you can be a big kid and use your words.  If not, glare away- IDGAF.  [/quote]

Did you even read the post?[/quote]

...Yes.  Are you confused? [/quote]

No.

OP related a story about someone who was standing still and "obviously glaring" which she interpreted as passive aggressive.

I gave a different perspective--that she may have over-interpreted the look on the person's face. [/quote]

Yes, and people are responding to your post, that you thought a simple stare would elicit such a reaction.  Do you understand now?  Comprende? [/quote]

Um... OP said the stare DID elicit a reaction. Are we reading the same post? [/quote]

She was talking about a glare... which is different?  Is English not your first language? [/quote]

You do understand that some people have RBF? They are not actually glaring. They may feel entirely neutral, or even positive. Or maybe they're pissed that the store is out of something they need and they're making a face unrelated to you but just happen to be standing in your general vicinity, maybe even looking in your direction, but not necessarily at you. Interpreting the look on the face of someone you don't know and getting upset by it is the issue. [/quote]

Oh my God.  This is insane.  You have managed to turn a post about someone's friend's experiences, and a follow up discussion, into an inquisition into your own facial tics.  Lady, no one cares you have RBF!! That's the whole point of this!  There is also a very big difference between a purposeful glare, which involves sustained eye contact, and RBF.  If you are used to people reacting negatively towards you, then you need to realize you might indeed be glaring and you need to work on your social skills.  But make your own thread- nobody cares here![/quote]
