Ok, so. . . I'm seriously new to this whole thing. I've read a book or two, surfed online articles and joined a couple of chatrooms (including this one). Still, I'm getting used to this new way of thinking. I've been raised to be an independent woman with a good head on her shoulders and all that.

Unfortunately I've found most of society - and unfortunately, myself - tends to think that being submissive equals losing yourself as well as your freedom and such. I was wondering how other subs might have had to deal with the lifestyle change and the change in mindset?

Thanks!
