I've been submissive all my life, but I didn't know what it was or what it meant until about a year ago. I've always gotten satisfaction and a tremendous feeling of self-worth from pleasing and serving others, often, although certainly not always, in a sexual capacity. And I had always felt as though something was missing in my life, some part of me was not being fulfilled. Up until about 3 years ago, I was very shy (I'm still shy in person, especially in crowds or with new people), sexually inexperienced, and terrified of almost everything, yet terribly lonely. It took a lot of work and support from friends and family, but I came to grips with my anxiety and depression (which were the root of my problems) and took charge of my life, taking the first step towards finding where I was meant to be. I knew a bit about bdsm and D/s from friends and whatnot (anecdotely, not something they were into) , and I suspected I was submissive. But I had no idea of what to do about it, or how to find someone to help me, and I was terrified I would say something stupid and make a fool of myself or get hooked up with a mass murderer or something, so I just kind of filed it away. I met my first Dom and mentor about a year ago, totally by accident through a mutual friend (actually he was her date and I shamelessly poached him) and he helped me find and explore my true self. I'd been ready for a long time, just needed the right teacher. Ultimately, we weren't meant to be (for a variety of complicated reasons I won't go into here), but we're still great friends, and I'm optimistic that one day I'll find the one I'm meant to be with.
