you think you can hurt my feelings? well i have a personality disorder that causes extremely intense emotional reactions so you’re absolutely right
American Horror Story
The Moon Signs Worst Traits
Aries Moon: Your impulsivity. You’ve probably heard it a thousand times before, you’re probably trying to change it already but your impulsive nature often brings you into unnecessary arguments and trouble. You might even see this as a sort of strength, saying what’s on your mind, but you do not recognize how this negatively effects your relationships and the people around you. Being outspoken is fine but this turning into taking out your feelings onto others is not.
Taurus Moon: Your kindness. This might sound backwards but your inherently helpful attitude is your biggest downfall. You constantly offering everyone a helping hand makes you very observant to when you do not get offered the same. You usually try to tough these negative feelings out but do tend to fall victim to them and turn bitter, killing yourself with your own kindness.
Gemini Moon: Your facade. You’re probably sick of hearing about how “fake” you are already but this is not what this is about. Rather, you tend to put on a happy mask and deny yourself your feelings and concentrate on the ones of others. This leads you to self-sabotage and hinder both your emotional growth and your ability to truly connect with others. You’re denying yourself the chance of genuine human connection, but might even feel like you’re not even worth it.
Cancer Moon: Your attachments. You’re unable to let things go, whether it be people, relationships or objects. You latch onto them and try to do everything possible to prevent them from going and even after they do, you dwell in memories. Let your wounds heal and let your grudges go, it is unhealthy for you to live in memories and stay in unfulfilling relationships.
Leo Moon: Your fear of emotions. You’re constantly out there, presenting yourself, putting yourself out there and into the spotlight, but when it comes to actually talking about your emotions you suddenly turn quiet. You don’t have to fear your act fading after you reveal your true emotions. It’s okay to let things out. Nobody will think differently of you. Let others get to know you.
Virgo Moon: Your perfectionism. You are your worst critic, constantly comparing yourself, grading yourself, never enough for yourself. The sound of your parents echoes in your thoughts and does not let you rest and you do not recognize how much you really do, especially for others and how grateful they are for you. Your worth is not measured by your usefulness and the worth of others isn’t as well. Don’t project your inner anxieties onto them.
Libra Moon: Your indecisiveness. You’re constantly questioning who you are, who you want to be, who you want others to be, if you want to be others, if you want others to be with you. You make yourself unable to form an identity and instead base it around others. Don’t simply mirror actions and only let your shadow show in the dark. Grow your own wings.
Scorpio Moon: Your need for control. Don’t you get tired of constantly sabotaging situations and yourself just so you can be in and feel like you’re in control? Even when you know you’re acting irrational, you keep acting out to get the validation you crave. Let go for once. Don’t claw at things or open new wounds just to feel something. Just let yourself fall.
Sagittarius Moon: Your lack of perspective. You pride yourself on knowing a lot, on being open-minded, on being a free spirit but when it comes to it you’re the most close-minded of them all. You’re stuck in your own viewpoint which leads to accidental and not so accidental insensitivity and others thinking you are stuck up. Widen your horizons for real for once. Let others offer their opinion, consider someone elses viewpoint before doing or saying something, follow your own advice.
Capricorn Moon: Your inferiority complex. You don’t like to admit it, but you love one-upping others, you love rising above, you love fulfilling the expectations others and you have set upon you. At the same time, you feel extremely anxious and despair when you cannot do that. Your inherent need to stand at the top, to prove yourself, makes you come off wrong and standoffish and tears your self-esteem to shreds. Remember that you are your own person.
Aquarius Moon: Your egoism. You parade yourself around as a welcoming, friendly, chill person but in reality you are stuck in your own little world and are offended when anyone questions it. You’ve found out the world’s secrets but only apply it to yourself, you hide yourself in your bubble to not face your own faults and instead point the finger at others. Stop only focusing on yourself. Realize and admit your mistakes to let yourself blossom into the wonder you’re destined to be.
Pisces Moon: Your martyr complex. You see yourself as someone nice, someone who wants to help others, people in need. You want to bear their sins, to fix them, but while you try to do that you see them as nothing but things to project onto. You’re unintentionally manipulative, skilled in making yourself look like the innocent lamb. Stop trying to be the perfect human who never does wrong. Accept yourself as a faulty human. Use your love for good, not to validate yourself.

one of the many drawbacks of BPD is that I expect people to have much more enthusiastic/intense reactions when I do something, since that’s how I’d react/feel but my imaginary scenarios never happen. I could learn something from this..?

i’m watching this documentary about halloween and there’s a part where they’re explaining that ghost stories got really popular around the civil war no one could really deal with how many people went off and died and
the narrator just said
“the first ghost stories were really about coming home”
fuck
#but wow let me tell you about how the american civil war changed the whole culture of grief and death #because before that people died at home mostly #where their family saw them die and held their body and had proof they were really dead and it was a process #but during the war people left and never came home their bodies never came back there was no proof #people died in new horrific ways on the battlefield literally vaporized by cannonballs or lost in swamps and eaten by wild animals #and there were NO BODIES to send home #and people simply couldn’t grasp that their son or father or husband was really gone #there are stories about people spending months searching for their loved ones #convinced they couldn’t be dead if there were no body they were simply lost or hurt and they needed to be saved and brought home #embalming also really started during the civil war as a way for bodies to be brought home as intact as possible #wow i just wowowow the culture of death and grief and stuff during this time period is fascinating and sad #history (via souryellows)
#quietly reblogs own tags #also the civil war was when dog tags and national cemetaries became a thing #and during the war there was n real system in place to notify families of the deaths #like they’d find out maybe from letters from soldiers who were there when their loved one died nd stuff #but there was no real system #and battlefield ambulances were basically invented because so many people died on the battlefield when they could have been saved if they co #…could have been moved frm the battlefield to a hospital #like there was this one really inlfuential dude whose son died that way and he became dedicated to getting an ambulance system in place
I’m not doing this in the correct tag-style, but.
IIRC, the Civil War also played a huge part in forming the modern American conception of heaven as this nice, domestic place where you’re reunited with your loved ones. People (particularly mothers) responded to the trauma of brother-killing-brother by imagining an afterlife in which families would once again be happy together.
(also not doing this in the correct tag-style, because I wanna KNOW— )What documentary is this? Or is there more than one? Any books on the subject? THIS IS FASCINATING.
cool (ghost) story, bro.
reblogging because, as a us history phd student, i want to say YAY for how much of this is totally on point. i also want to rec the book where a lot of this is covered very, very well, which is Drew Gilpin Faust’s “This Republic of Suffering: Death and the American Civil War.”
a lot of books on the Civil War are deadly dull because they’re about battles and shit, but as a transformative moment in mindset and ideology, it becomes *fascinating*
the other book I’d even more highly rec is David W. Blight’s “Race and Reunion,” which is about how the “(white) brother against (white) brother” image of the war was invented and how throwing African Americans to the merciless viciousness of post-Reconstruction racist whites was part of constructing this “oh everybody was white men and everybody was noble let’s celebrate them all” approach to Civil War remembrance
very good stuff
Thank you! This looks like exactly the sort of reading I’m after! *adds to wish list*
Also, look for David Blights recordings of his Yale lecture series on The Civil War. 21 hours of class lectures, and its FASCINATING. He barely touches on the battles other than to use them as timestamps as to what was going on. Most of it focuses on what the mindset of everyone was going into the war, and what happened on the way out. It’s an amazing series that will change your entire perception of the war - how it happened, and how it wasn’t going to be possible to avoid it, because of the inherent evil of slavery and how it was destroying damn near *everyone* except rich white people.
thank you history tumblr. i never would have looked twice at this topic, by now i’m fascinated.
