You are not afraid of the sufferings and sorrows of other people, even when they are acted out in unappealing ways. Beneath even defensiveness and self-righteous behavior, you know that deep down people need nurturing and consolation. One danger is being naive about people’s dark sides. But at your best you know you can be mean yourself, which helps you to sympathize. You bring strength and forgiveness where other people might panic.
Shyness
Part of you is gripped by the fear that you’ll launch into something and completely mess it up. The upside of this is wise caution: people are indeed often too rash, whereas you know, by instinct, that holding back can save you. Probably, you feel shame and self-disgust a bit too much. But when you do feel in your element, you act with a wisdom and sensitivity never found in people with thicker skins.
Aggression
One part of your character is anger in all its forms: frustration, outrage – and when anger is suppressed – bitterness, grumpiness, and bodily aches. Fundamentally, frustration comes from hope: you get upset because you expect your life will be more than a valley of tears. One way to deny aggression is to direct it inwards, as self-criticism. But you’re at your best when you acknowledge anger, and act it out clearly and in a focused way, with honor.
Hello dolls, I’m Louise, as in geez Louise, you’re the best! That was a Bob’s Burgers reference, pls don’t hate me lmao.
Anywho, here’s a little something, something I put together about Zander, pleaseeeeee feel free to like this or message me to plot or have connections, my activity isn't the best but I’ll always try to get on at least once a day. <3
So first off Zander comes from a long line of Nixon boys in Epsilon, I’m talking generations here. He has money but he’s not really big on showing it. He knows you need money to live, knows he has it but he doesn’t flaunt it, not really caring about social status and what not. You’re nice to him, he’s nice to you.
He’s a very nice guy, brought up well, has manners, peeps his social status and knows he’s privileged, it’s one of the reasons why he wants to work for Wall Street, to fight the top dogs from the inside.
His parents are very strict, very controlling. They’re the one who low key suggested Wall Street but they made it seem like it was Zander’s idea so he thinks it was.
He’s only had one long term girlfriend from the end of Freshman year in high school, to the summer right before he got accepted to NYU. His parents arranged them to meet, knowing her family so they set them up, but when she didn’t get accepted to NYU, his parents felt it was “best” if he dropped her, so he did, even though he had grown to love her.
Not really much of a party guy, he’ll go out with friends but he’s like the mom of the group, making sure everyone is safe and no one is bothering them.
He’s an all around sweet guy, but set in his ways of, have a plan, graduate, get a good job, have a family, etc, etc. He’s stubborn in a way, he won’t come right out and tell you he disagrees with you, he’ll try to see things your way and hear you out but at the end of the day he won’t be budged or steered away from his goals.
His parent’s approval means everything to him, the friends he has, he’s had them for a very long time, he’s friendly yes, but his inner circle is very small. The close friends he has he had to persuade his parents for so he’s definitely ride or die type of guy.

my duvet (or whatever the top cover of my bed is called) has a bunch of different cities and buildings on it
there's a huge black and white picture of a busy London (I think) street with a red double decker bus above my headboard
my dad made my headboard so it has slots almost and two purple and two red shelves on either side of my bed
there's a mirror leaning against one of my closet doors (it was supposed to be hung inside one of the doors but that never happened)
I have three white boards for some reason
there's a BMTH poster, a SWS poster, a OM&M poster, and three Adam Elmakias prints (one large one of OM&M, and two small ones, one of Jack Barakat and the other of Alan Ashby, Aaron Pauley, and Austin Carlile)
there's a laser print called "Electrosapien" (which is my favorite thing in the world) balanced on one white board
there's a cool painting of a man playing the piano balanced on another white board
there's an overstuffed bookshelf right when you walk in the door
and there's a very cluttered desk with a lot of books that wouldn't fit on my bookshelf

Migraine: Do you feel like you are alone when you have to deal with your thoughts? House Of Gold: Do you find it hard to live for someone? Car Radio: Do you feel like you need music to distract yourself from your thoughts? Semi-Automatic: Do you understand why you might hurt someone?

Ode To Sleep: typically I just feel like going back to sleep and ignoring everything. Holding On To You: music mostly, there are a few people too. Migraine: I do. House Of Gold: yes but I'm trying my best. Car Radio: yes, it keeps me from overthinking and panicking which is typically the problem. Semi-Automatic: I do. in your life, you're going to hurt someone somehow, it's inevitable and the best thing you can do is understand what you did and try to fix it. Screen: yes I do, it's just easier to hide behind a screen sometimes. The Run And Go: for the most part, I keep them to myself, but there are a few people I talk to them about. ironically they're the ones I'm living for. Fake You Out: sometimes I feel like a fake, I do fake how I feel, but it's not too bad, a lot of people do that. Guns For Hands: both. his words hit me so hard especially when I can relate to them.
