ORIGINAL: khem This is a theoretical question, not a situation that has come up. How would you react if, given a relationship where you regularly accept and follow orders from your top, a command to change your mood? I have often found myself thinking "moods" are off limits and just how things are. When I look at my own moods, however, I feel like it is very possible to take practical steps to improve or alter my mood. (there's no shortage of lists of things to do to improve your mood). Would you resent such an order? Would you feel like it was your top's "job" to alter your mood? Would you feel conflicted and like you were unable to obey? Do you think it is a unreasonable request? (I'll also add that: yes, it is normal to have negative emotions and the point of this post is not imply that someone should always seek to run from them) yes this is a fast reply... yes i've been told this and yes i resent it and it generally has the opposite effect. i do all that i can to submit but at the same time it is my personal opinion (your mileage will vary) that there are somethings that are mine and mine alone and one of them is my mood. unless i'm constantly abusive or there is truly no reason for me to be nasty then i'm probably in a bad mood for a reason and i would like to be respected enough to be allowed to feel whatever i'm feeling. my dom is not around me 24/7 and there is a lot of stuff that occurs in my life that He'll never really be able to grasp just because He isn't going through it with me 24/7, and i dislike being told that i can't be stressed/angry/sad/whatever. i like being told that i'm obsessing about something because i literally can't see it when i get like that but at the same time i dislike being told to alter my mood, especially when i'm working towards altering it in the first place (like if i'm seeing someone to help deal with stress). i like to be able to control that myself.
