This goes out to all my homeys in Hollywood (of which, I have none but it sounds good). The Botox you are using not only makes your face look emotionless but it actually dulls your real emotions as well. A study published in the June issue of the journal Emotion shows that even though someone with Botox will respond to an emotional stimulus, the lack of facial movement dulls how the brain receive this information and therefore dulls the emotion. In other words, facial expressions themselves influence emotional experiences through a feedback loop. The motivational people (i.e. Tony Robbins) kind of knew this all along as they preach for us to force that smile on your face in order to change your mood. Leave it to the Botox people to prove it. Now we just need to create a disease for this and give it a cool name. Any ideas? I'm thinking of: Emotoxism or Botoxophrenic or Bopolar Disorder.
