Sounds to me like most subs on here are natural submissives. I am not. I have come to this practice because I want to learn to learn to submit, to live for another, to serve well, to learn discipline and structure, to push myself outside my comfort zone.
I fear the loss of control. I fear failure. I fear having my weaknesses exposed.
I can be quite selfish, and undisciplined (not lazy, just overwhelmed and unfocused), and isolated emotionally.
I want to know what it feels like to be enmeshed, to feel joy through another, to trust someone enough to let go of my control, to stop being so fiercely independent.
I was raised in chaos. Control and independence and emotional isolation feel like my nature, but I know there is more to me wanting to let the guard down, wanting to let someone else in, to let someone else care for me, and to lose myself in them. I want to experience that. So, I practice. It's a journey. I do it poorly sometimes. But I am learning every day.
I think learning the art of submission, learning to embody it, will be a newfound freedom for me. I know that sounds crazy to most people, and I can't really explain it, but to me it makes perfect sense.
