ORIGINAL: CaringandReal What fears do you have about meeting a dominant? my biggest fear is that instead of finding someone who cheerfully wants to flagellate me, i will find someone i depressingly want to flagellate myself with. The secret question i have about everyone i meet is: are you someone whom i should have these loyal feelings for or are you someone i'm using for self-harm? By self-harm, CaringandReal, i mean that in the past, i willfully ignored that i was using them to create a situation of chronic despair for myself that you fear. No active looking until i'm more confident that i'm not using a person as a tool or choosing a person who is willing to let me (or uncaring that i) use them as such. i at least want to be able to ask that question and come up with a clear yes or no answer so i can address the situation correctly. And, by correctly, i mean that this kind of user behavior deserves a clear "Bad monkey! No!" i need to feel more confident i can act appropriately when i realize *cough* "Hey, this bullshit is, in fact, bullshit. And i've had my fill." Oh, sure, i have had all those fears ranging from "his not liking my haircut" to "her cooking me over a bonfire." i have those concerns when seeking just friends not only if i were seeking Dominants, mostly they're minor and easily side-stepped. But the doozey (sp?), the edge-of-the-cliff-i-daren't-step-off-of these days is the fear stated above. Now i'll go back and read all of the better-written posts. = D
