ORIGINAL: Presidentialwhor was there something wrong for me, i feel terrible that i couldn't do what He asked me too do...i dont know what was wrong. i just kept telling myself i am doing it for Him, but i really didn't enjoy it. I have, but in a different situation. I have felt guilty for failing to perfectly do what my Master wanted of me. Sure I did it, but I struggled and made mistakes, so I felt like I had failed him as a result. I posted this last night on a different thread. Maybe it will help you here: "My Master and I had a conversation about something very similar tonight. I was telling him that recently I thought I had failed him because I made mistakes in performing something for him, and didn't handle things so well. But in reality I didn't fail at all, because I never gave up trying. The success was in my wanting to succeed for him, and in my continual attempts to get it right, without giving up. I told him I can not unequivocally state that from this day forward I will always do exactly as he wants me to, because as a human being I will stumble, make mistakes, and have physical limitations. But what I can tell him is that I will always strive to give him exactly what he wants, and if I stumble or err, I will keep trying. I thought I failed before because I had failed at being perfect...and setting myself up for perfection is setting myself up to fail. He agreed with this, and said what is most endearing to him is watching me do whatever it takes to "get it right" for him. He said a girl who, when told to walk a mile balancing a bucket of water on her head, struggles, drops it, picks it back up, and never gives up, simply because she wants to please him, will be far more endearing to him than a girl who can carry a bucket effortlessly and with little meaning to it. For him it's all about will and attitude." The question is, do you feel guilty because you think you failed him? And, did you really fail him if you gave it your best effort to make it work? Also, there are things we are called upon to do that we do not find enjoyable. I do not believe that whether or not we enjoy something determines our success. Juliet made a good point (as usual) - sometimes the first time we experience something for someone carries anxieties with it that might get in the way of the full experience. I have also found that those things I used to enjoy while "vanilla" mean little to me anymore, since my Master came into my life. Where it may have been fulfilling to me to engage in certain acts with others, such activities have little value to me anymore, because they are not with my Master. For this reason, I can not compare my former life to my current place. Keep talking to your Master about this. Examining your thoughts and feelings about the situation will reveal what you both need to know about it. Edited to add - I don't really subscribe to the "not my thing" way of thinking. Anything my Master wants of me becomes "my thing." He has his reasons for wanting them, and I have a responsibility to work through my issues (with his help, if necessary) and provide them. This is obviously not everyone's approach, but it is certainly the case in my dynamic with my Master.
