The Nature Of Submissives

[lupestripe]

Are submissives generally selfless creatures who wish to make others happy, or do they have self-esteem issues that are only alleviated by the opportunity to serve and make their masters happy? I really don't know my own take on it.

(And yep I am being way to psychoanalytical and I know you can't generalise completely - just interested in the psychological mechanisms)

I'd like to think I'm in the former group but who knows. I try not to psychoanalyse myself too much.

Psychoanalysis has always been my weak point and in some respects my downfall. I worry too much and I think too much - I just can't accept or let things be. I think this is the main reason why I am the way I am. It generates positive and negative character traits but it does make it impossible to relax due to my being fraught with worry.
