I'm not naive, more like the opposite. I know how badly someone can hurt me if given the right information. I would never expect someone to be able to 'fix' me other than myself. I'm more in danger of never getting close to someone again than letting the wrong person in. There have been a variety of people over the years that have used information about me to manipulate or coerce me. Because I allowed those people to gain that opportunity I have a hard time trusting myself and I tend to shut down before they prove safe or not. I'm definitely one of those girls that predators can spot and it's like spilling blood in a shark tank. I do need to gather my lady balls and just risk it, but it is much easier said than done.
Do you mean online friends? Or is there some way to meet people outside of a sexual agenda? I'm assuming you mean other submissives, I really want to meet other people in real life if possible but I wouldn't know how to do it discreetly.
