I agree this is an interesting thread.

I too am in a job where I have to be in charge and take a leadership role at times. I used to be quite shy and still can be in certain situations. I can now talk to almost anyone but it takes a lot for me to become close to somebody.

In my private life, I had always been the one waiting for the guy to make the first move. I used to think that was due to my conservative upbringing and being a quiet person, but now I know it was more than that. I know I have always had a submissive side, it just took someone strong like Tojo to bring it out in me.

Hotfirefly, I can relate to what you said as to never having shared so much with people you don't really know that well before. I have lost count of the number of times I have said that myself this year. Well done for being so open and honest, it does get easier!
