Sick?

Feeling Blue?
When you look sick, it usually means you have a runny nose and your eyes are red and baggy.But what happens when you feel emotionally ill?According to the psychology department at the University of Michigan, one of the key signs of emotional distress is facial asymmetry.As reported in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, symmetry, when the two sides of the face look like each other, is known to be a standard of good looks and sexual attractiveness.But when you're sick or emotionally upset, the two sides actually get unbalanced, and you really don't look as good.And, the research concludes, if you're having emotional problems, the lack of symmetry may be the only sign that something is wrong.
