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)

judging from your responces I'd suggest that for you it's a way of coping and stress relief

you can spend a while noting having to worry about anything but what your told to do

That's certainly part of it. A lot of time I feel I am not meant for the human world due to the stress and anxiety that I so often feel.

that's called breathing lupe
every good wolf goes through it
it means you care enough to exist outside yourself
