Always remember when trying to change your feelings that you change them only in whatever way already feels is truly the best for you in this moment, and not based on your thoughts of how you "ought" to feel.

Hypomimia, or lack of mimic, is not specific to mental conditions such as schizophrenia or autism, but rather is a defense mechanism all of us have to some extent, which we may use instinctively against people we do not trust, in which case it is safer not to show our emotions. Because people such as schizophrenics often hardly trust anyone, it is therefore obvious that they seem to lack mimic altogether.

On two levels on which people show most who they really are: that of the very small and the very great; the normal level is social and therefore self-consciously adapted according to the impressions it would make. Details, few ever worry about; and in case of dramatic events, few worry about what impression they will make, either.
If you want to understand people, study them on these nonsocial levels; since dramatic events rarely happen, if you want to understand people, study the subtleties in their behavior, for those come by themselves, without reflection.
Highly sensitive people do this spontaneously, and because of this may find themselves strangely affected by small details. They will often be thought of as overdramatic; but those small details can tell a keen intuition a great deal.

If you seek beauty, deem only of worth that which is done with love, as love is the appreciation of beauty. However, though all things are created with love in some way or other, albeit the love of destruction, not all love is equal.
Love the whole, however, not its parts, as you will otherwise led astray from the greater beauty; for as far as you yourself are concerned, the whole means all that which you perceive, indeed you can be said to be the whole of your perceptions. If we see the self as such, to love the whole therefore means to love oneself. What this means, then, is to do whatever feels best for oneself, as only through feeling, not through thought, one can consider the whole rather than just the parts.
If what is best for you means to you what is most comfortable, then by all means, do whatever feels most comfortable when all is said and done. If you seek beauty, then do whatever feels most beautiful to you. Do not then be held back by either fear or craving to love whatever beauty you seek, but listen to your center, the heart.
For you can know what will bring you to beauty only through feeling it, as only you can feel what beauty means to you. For everything you do, listen to your feelings and examine whether or not you truly want to do it, accepting whatever it may bring along with it.
If you are urged to do something out of craving, no matter what it may be, even if it is something beautiful, then check yourself, until you feel you can do it out of love rather than out of craving; for nothing is beautiful with love, as love is what defines beauty, and craving can make even that which is beautiful worthless.
To achieve beauty, one must struggle against the forces of gravity, up towards the sky; craving and fear pull one down, but love tells one to fly on upward.
