I thought I would speak up and share. I'm submissive and think that I am that way in other parts of my life.

I'm not very outgoing or dominant. I'd describe myself as a people pleaser and been called by a "push over" by some more dominant people.

Although I don't see myself as a push over or a person who allows herself to being taken advantage of, I just know when to pick my battles and the particular people that said that weren't worth battling with. But I do like to make people happy and help as much as I can and it pains me when I can't.

I had a boss who said once I would be a good leader but I think that had more to do with being hardworking and a perfectionist of my work than being a natural leader or dominate in some way.

I'd say that I'm independent and more outgoing when it is expected of me and I have no other choice but it doesn't come very naturally at all. Maybe it would if I was in that position more and gained more confidence in it, I don't know.

I do open up once people get to know me, and the people i've known for years don't believe me when I say that I'm shy, but I don't think that they would be all together surprised that I was submissive. They'd probably be more surprised by the fact that i'm kinky than anything.

Anyway, that's me. <also more than I think I've ever shared with people I've never met before in my life, and I realize that I'm procrastinating sending it, so I'm just going to hit post quick reply....now>
