There were a few studies done on people who subjected themselves to Botox injections. Long story short: botulism toxin injections 'remove' wrinkles by basically paralyzing your facial muscles.
I can't find the specific study I read; the basic point, at any rate, is this:
When subjected to emotional input after a Botox session, people were unable to empathize. The widely accepted psychological theory is that if your face is incapable of making an emotional expression, then your ability to experience said emotion will be diminished. Like a bit of a feedback loop.
If my facial expressions when I daydream (or my daydreams themselves) are any indication, my brain is a clusterfuck of emotion.
Hugs, please? I'll give you head massages. I'm really good. And I swear to you I'm not creepy, just a little* awkward.

* okay, fine: very awkward.
