MySweetSubmssive -> RE: Introvert or Extrovert (2/27/2008 11:18:46 AM)

FR
I am introverted from the word go, though when I tell this to some of my co-workers and new friends, they respond with disbelief. At first I found the confluence of dominance and introversion to be rather confusing. I am not a "walk into a crowded room and take charge" type of person. My domination is very much marked by my introversion, and more specifically that I am an INFP on the Myers-Briggs Personality Sorter. I've always been interested in D/s "from the inside out." I love getting inside someone's head and tinkering around with him. I know of some dominants who very much focus on behaviors and forms. This seems like an odd way to proceed for me (though I love how well-trained submissives coming from those people can be), and I suspect that those are extroverted behaviors.
I tend to gravitate to men who are introverts, because we have similar ways of operating in the world. I think that my type of dominance makes less sense to an extroverted person. It can seem to him like nothing is happening, or that I'm not controlling enough.
This questions reminds me of a related question of my own. I've speculated that a website for BDSM, because it can be visited in the privacy of your own home, would disproportionately attract introverts. For me there is great pleasure in being able to travel in my imagination and "meet" interesting new people while being in my introverted comfort zone. People on the boards often suggest to get out in the community and meet people. While I realize this is sound advice, it does make the introvert in me shudder. (smiling)
