I'd have to say I'm one of the extremes of defiant sub. This was originally due to a horrible upbringing which taught me that people in authority were very wicked, dangerous, and must not be listened to. Having met my master a couple of years ago, I very badly needed and wanted to be obedient, but that old fear and old script in my mind completely prevented me. It has taken a great deal of patience on his part, a great deal of discussion and introspection on both our parts. Punishments never helped with this, because it reinforced my fear and loathing of authoritarian figures. I'm not saying this is common, but this was my own experience. As my master kept gently but firmly insisting that I must obey him, my defiant streak just kept fading. It came to the point that I trusted him completely, and it stopped feeding my needs to defy him. This took a very long time, a year and a half for me. I think that my master did almost all of the work required to get me to this point, because I wasn't able to get past that old conditioning in my mind on my own even after I intellectually understood why I was stuck. I went through very painful moments where I seriously questioned whether I was even submissive. It turned out that I was very submissive, and the defiance was an old pattern from my past that took time to carefully work through. Only when my feelings of authority changed from something very negative, to something very positive, was I able to change my actual behaviors. I wish you all the best, and I'm sure other people will have very different points of view with this.
