You need to watch the Showtime TV series "Dexter!" This is a show about a man who suffered a horrible experience as a baby, which caused him to lock away all of his emotional responses (he is also a psychopathic serial killer, but he only murders murderers, so he's a good serial killer). Dexter realizes that he does not have normal emotional reactions, so he fakes them - he has learned how to act normal, and he is slowly realizing that, by acting normal, he is actually getting back in touch with his own emotions.

In other words, acting a certain way does change your thinking! If you smile - whether you feel happy or not - you will begin to notice a lightening of your mood. This is part of Cognitive Behavioral therapy, a method of training yourself to get rid of unhealthy ways of coping with stress and learning healthier ones instead. This therapy is excellent for people who suffer from anxiety or depression.

So, yes, you certainly could make good decisions - good decisions are made with the mind and not the emotions. If you behave as if you have normal emotions, you will learn how to reconnect with that part of yourself.
