ORIGINAL: sunshinemiss quote:
Though if you ever come across a really self-reliant sub, I'm stealing her from you. I had to laugh when I read that. I often tell people, "yes, I'm high maintenance, but I maintain myself very well." You can put that in your pipe and smoke it, too. to the OP: People change, people learn new things about themselves all the time, people grow, but their basic reality doesn't change. The question is, what is the basic nature of the person? Many MANY people seem submissive, but it's out of fear or lack of safe opportunity to be more assertive. Those people are not submissive, they are beaten down by life or perhaps merely diplomatic. At some point, if they are lucky, they will come to a crisis and become more who they are. At that point, their relationships (not just the romantic love relationship) will change. Love is more than a roll. It is about seeing the person as they are, it's about being who you are. Well, healthy love anyway. Best, sunshine Um, you responded to me but quoted someone else...not sure who you quoted lol. But lots of submissives and slaves are totally self reliant. I don't think it's that rare, actually.
