as a submissive woman do you think you think about and see things differently than nilla women? My first response to this question is, How would I know how a vanilla woman thinks and sees things? It's not like I "turned submissive" or anything. I've always been this way, but I didn't understand it until last year. I did consider myself vanilla until last year, although I now firmly believe I was in denial about who/what I am. Anyway, I'll answer your question in terms of how I think differently now that I know I'm not vanilla compared with how I thought when I believed I was vanilla. Kind of changing the terms of your question a bit--hope it's not too much of a hijack. I don't think my thinking and seeing has changed as much as my feeling has, and that's only changed a bit. I feel more secure and trusting in the world and I have fewer doubts about myself. I was pretty secure before, but not very trusting. I had few doubts about myself but now I have even fewer. I had a lot of self-confidence before and now I have even more. I wasn't a messed up person, I wasn't struggling to fit into my world, I wasn't weak, I didn't need direction--and I still don't. None of that has changed. I suppose what's happened is that all of my strengths have become even stronger and all of my anxieties have lessened. The only significant change for me is that I better understand myself and my responses to the world and I am more comfortable with my responses. I don't see the world differently. and does you thinking change when you're in a relationship I began to understand that I am submissive about a month before I met my owner, so I really haven't been out of a relationship since I realized I was submissive, so I can't really answer this questions. and does it change even more when you're in your masters presence? When I am in my owner's presence, I feel completely at peace with the world, completely safe, completely taken care of. I guess I see the world as his prerogative to handle when I'm in his presence, whereas when we're apart, I do have to deal with the world. I'm good at dealing with the world, for the most part (I'm a working single mother--you pretty much have to be able to handle the world on your own in that situation), but it does sap my energy sometimes. When I'm with my owner and he's dealing with the world, my energy can be all focused on him and my daughter.
