Have not been on the forum in a while, this topic kinda took off lol. It was really interesting reading everyone's opinions and explanations. Someone mentioned it being more common in the younger crowd and I am in that group so that might be a big factor on why I feel a little like the odd one out. Hanging around a slightly older crowd I don't get nearly the same worry. I am getting a lot more comfortable with who I am as a submissive, and exactly what I am looking for in a Dominant. I have also found that the right person can get one hell of a response out of me lol. This was as super encouraging to read and it was nice to see it from the angle of bratty not necessarily being bad, just not my thing.
I think it is going to take me a while to find that right Dom for me, but I am just going to have some fun along the way and not change who I am.
