I think this writing is too vague in indicating subjects and objects, sometimes it seems to focus on ourselves(me) and other times, on others.
1.Is this "expressive message of ours" related to "our stony faces" or "others' stony faces"? Who's reacting who?
2. Who's engraving "these stereotypes" to whose face?

ex)Sociologically speaking, facial expressions virtually have the effect of changing your feelings. A smile or a laugh, for example, can cheer someone up enormously, while on the other hand we regard indifferent stony faces, made as a reaction to an emotional and expressive message of ours, as insulting or offending. The face, as a mysterious medium for conveying attraction and rejection, reveals the identity and the current emotional state of a person. Its messages are intuitively registered by the environment; sympathy or antipathy develops immediately, right at the very first meeting, and only with difficulty are they later revised. The continuous repetition of a certain facial expression "engraves" these stereotypes onto our face, so that finally our life becomes mirrored by our face. This will have happened by about the age of 35 years.
