I'm not sure how I portrayed Master as one who prefers my incompetence or has a need to see himself as my better. This is the Master that is punishing me for a 167 LSAT, right? The range of reaction to me and my threads is odd to me.

Have you ever been completely alone for long periods of time... no shopping, no contact with the outside world? That is being a "hermit", not spending time alone. I spend a lot of time alone by choice, I have not lived with a man since my son was 8 months old by my own choice, but I would be lying if I said I never felt extremely lonely and unhappy at times. I consider family and friends to be a source of companionship

Maybe I didn't express myself well earlier. I tend to do that, lol. I will survive with or without a specific person. I prefer to share my life with another. While I might , based on research, need to have a partner to flourish, I can be quite content being by myself. I prefer to have a partner that feels the same. In my life/perspective, I think it is all about choices. I prefer for my sub to exercise free will, everyday making the choice to submit to me. I do not want to be needed on any level. I prefer 2 whole people, emotionally and otherwise, to come together, both wanting to be with the other Again, I have been known to not express myself well. I hope I have not offended anyone.

Perhaps a big part of the distaste for clingy and needy people is that we are conditioned to see them as immature and childish?

I consider family and friends to be a source of companionship oh yeah, i have been there. i was completely homebound with panic attacks for almost 2 years when my son, who is now 19, was a baby. i have fought that demon and learned to keep it under control, at first using drugs, then using the skills i was taught by a most awesome support group. and at that time i was married and had a husband with me daily. i felt alone and lonely then. now i do not feel that way. i feel content.

juliaoceania -> RE: On Clingy Submissives (12/28/2007 8:24:36 AM)
But you still had a baby to love.... when I speak of people going nuts from no human contact, I mean no human contact. Solitary confinement for extended periods of time with no human interaction can cause people to go nuts. I was alone a lot when my UM was wee and when I was pregnant. It made me very lonely and unhappy, although I did not go nuts. I felt alone and lonely when I was married too, which is why I am not married anymore. In fact it was such a negative experience for me that I went the opposite direction for many years... wanting to rely on, trust in, depend on, no one... because raising my UM by myself, I felt I had to be "strong" and not "need" anyone. Well he is an adult now, so I guess it is my turn after all these years to not just survive, but to thrive

Seeksonlyone- Why were you completely homebound for the first two years? OB1- (i'll be ducking in a second)-That post you made was a bit f'd up. You couldn't see that what Julia was describing was extremely cathartic? It wasn't a regular occurance.. Would you not be moved by being able to bring that out in your girl?

quote: Perhaps a big part of the distaste for clingy and needy people is that we are conditioned to see them as immature and childish? Yep. I think we see them as co-dependent. Or possibly personality-disordered in the borderline personality style, needing a lot of reassurance and fearful of being abandoned.

And very few sane people want to be subjected to a 'fatal attraction" scenario.

MzMia -> RE: On Clingy Submissives (12/28/2007 8:32:43 AM)
As a Dominant woman, I want someone who "needs" me. I don't mind a little clingy behavior now and then, but that's me. As long as they don't turn into a ClingOn, the RIGHT submissive can get a little clingy with me. Big hint----THE RIGHT SUBMISSIVE ONLY! I want to be needed by the right person.[;)] I think a little co-dependency works well for many people. I was teasing a submissive last night, that just had a fatal attraction type of woman after him. I asked him if he had any wabbits.

quote: ORIGINAL: BossyShoeBitch Why were you completely homebound for the first two years? i was able to go to the store when i had to......it involved white knuckles and a feeling of terror from the time i walked out the door til the time i came back in. i could go to my moms house, only after discovering she had fought panic in her younger days, as this gave me the comfort level to know if i lost it she would understand. but there were days, even weeks, i could not walk out the door. i was terrified. not even to the mailbox..... when i called 911 at 3 am on july 4th, 1990, and was taken by ambulance to the hospital, convinced i was dying finally, the dr looked at me after a few questions and said you are having a panic attack. i told him he was nuts....he gave me a shot in the ass to calm me and the name of a support group that was local. he also told me to go to my regular dr and get on some meds. it took me 3 trips to my dr, the first 2 times i left because i could not sit there one moment more. i begged his secretary to give me the first appt in the am so i could walk right in, and after fighting with her, she finally allowed me to talk to him and he made sure to get me right back to see him on the 3rd visit. it took me 3 trips to the place the support group was held, to find the strength to get out of the car. it was so awesome to get in there and see people, realtors, attorneys, housewives, rock band drummers, all types, who all looked so normal. and each of them described the same things i had been feeling for 2 years. i went to that group for 2 years.......ill never forget how hard it was...making me go to the mailbox....the grocery store, the movie theatre.....challenging this demon. and i feel confident to say now i will never have another full blown panic attack. of course, i will never be without xanax close by, just in case either-lol. edited to change 2000 to 1990-damn time flies when youre having fun edited again to add i have no idea, to this day, why all this happened......

Good for you for beating this monster back... Xanax...my old friend..lol

sexyred1 -> RE: On Clingy Submissives (12/28/2007 8:42:33 AM)
I think that everyone has been over generalizing what clingy means, and like all semantics, it is subjective. The bottom line is this: being dependent or clingy is a relative term; it all depends on the dynamic of the two people in a relationship. What often starts off as mutually dependent, both parties being in constant contact, etc. often devolves into one party becoming less so for various reasons. Thus, the other party is declared "clingy". Sometimes it is a matter of not being into that person so much anymore, or the relationship has taken a turn for the bad in communication. If being clingy is borne out of insecurity that is an internal problem. If being considered clingy is when you need more communication from your witholding partner, then it is an external issue. I also believe that people truly need each other and I take issue with those who think that if you "want" someone, you should not "need" them. That is silly. The very idea of wanting someone who you end up in a relationship with, normally leads to you needing them, and vice versa. To all those who cry, just want me, don't need me, I say that you are wanting only half a relationship, not the responsibility part where someone might need you. I have seen this time and time again...girl meets boy. boy calls girl ten times a day. girl loves it. girl and boy get in relationship. things are cool for a while. then girl starts calling boy too often and he backs away...oh no! she has become clingy. It was fine when he called 10 times, but she is not allowed to. Often when a person has had a bad experience with an abusive person or a non-communicative one or even been accused of being "clingy", they go the opposite way and overdo the independent thing, where they become almost impossible to get to know, for fear of letting their guard down. Those people usually are the ones who say they are fine alone. I do not believe for a moment that anyone who is alone actually wants to be so, it is a defense mechanism. In the pursuit of ideal human relationships, the one constant is there is no ideal, you need to work at finding a balance and one person's clingy is another's perfect behavior.

But, no, I didn't see it as being extremely cathartic. Perhaps I should have been more sensitive, but then, this is a public forum and I didn't realize it was such a tender spot for her. I was expressing what seemed to be logical for me. While I do enjoy tears flowing at certain times, that particular scenario would have squicked me a bit. As I have said before, I am a simple man and do not express myself as well as some. But if you want to talk Nascar......LOL. [sm=banana.gif]
