I think that the last drop of my submissive nature has dried up... I can't even imagine anymore someone telling me what to do, and me willingly doing it...

No ... Not even. If anything, it has perhaps gone into hibernation and one day it will again awaken and bloom/flourish. I believe one's nature is their nature and it never ceases to be .....

That's right Ex .... You're a leopard who's not changing its spots. It's not a matter of 'if', it's a matter of time.

Maybe you are right, Plzr. Right now, I can't even imagine it happening. Alone time and past experiences make it all feel better being on my own.

I believe people only adjust to being alone.

Enter the right person and all those nerve endings you've learned to bypass reattach and embrace the awakening.

I have created a high well protected glass wall around myself. I see everything, but no one can go through it. Makes me feel safe and I am not eager to let anyone ruin that peace.

We can't really change our true nature unless something traumatic has happened to cause it.

We may choose to suppress, rationalize, behave differently as a means to cope with the absence of something we want, desire or need in our lives.

Surprisingly enough though, it doesn't take much to re-awaken our natural self.

However it does mean a conscious choice is needed to allow that part of ourselves to be embraced and expressed.

I can't tell if it doesn't take much to awaken what seems to be in a deep state of hibernation, as dear Plzr suggested.
Right now my conscious choice is to prevent any possible damage and disaster from happening again.

One never knows....as noted above, all it takes is the right chemistry...a certain scent, a touch...


ExNameForUse replies on 2/25/2024 10:32 am:
Perhaps, not sure really... It would have to be something either extraordinary or so ordinary that I won't be afraid of it.

I know what you are saying, Ex.
I do understand that feelin, totally....

Although i think it might be in hibernation... ❓️
That is how it feels for me... 🙏


ExNameForUse replies on 2/25/2024 10:35 am:
I am glad you undersood me, Rosa. I am not complaining. Just making the statement ... it is what it is now and right now it feels good to be alone. Not sure what could it be to make me change my mind.

Being alone versus solitude . .
Loneliness is the poverty of self, while
solitude is the richness of self.
Living in solitude is painful in youth,
but delicious in the years of maturity.
If you have buried more than one partner,
you know that loneliness follows you like a
shadow and that solitude is what you do so
you never cause that much pain to someone else.


ExNameForUse replies on 2/25/2024 10:38 am:
I live alone. But I don't feel lonely. Or that my solitude is the burden I carry on my back and struggle with.
Just the opposite.
Not that I can imagine who or what I would let go of this peace for...

This can be true but I know it's my independence that attracts many a Domme.


ExNameForUse replies on 2/25/2024 10:44 am:
So is my independence that attracts many, yet only to find out they have a plan to help me (not sure though why they think I need any help at all), to make me dependent on them and in a way "tame" my independency... most men see me as a project, as a challenge, not as an opportunity to have a valuable partner.
Once they figure out it won't happen, they become quite rude, so one more reason not to let anyone in my circle.

So, do you feel that is a good thing, or something you don't/didn't think would occur, Ex? People who KNOW themselves well, adjust to changing circumstances in their lives, best. Of course, education, age, as well as 'self awareness' all contribute. I know lots of women who have made up their mind that living alone for the duration of their life is what they want. Perhaps it's the same with someone of a submissive nature, as well. Whatever you decide, I wish you all the best in your journey!


ExNameForUse replies on 2/25/2024 10:47 am:
Just a statement, not that I am preaching it is something good or bad. Simple thought of how it is right now. Whatever choice we make, if it makes us feel good, and brings peace and comfort - it is good, no matter what others say.
Nothing is set in stone, things may change, and miracles happen, just thinking about how extraordinary that would have to be to convince me it would be better than what I have now being alone...

But then, something/someone may just have the qualities you seek and you for him. Then what do you do? Do you revert to the concept you noted? Do you take the risk?

Be open to the possibilities is my feeling. Be guarded of course. Being comfortable in yourself is one thing that is OK with me. You need to be secure in yourself of course. But if a good person happens to share your space, well that just enerches both your lives. Don't denie yourself. You deserve the best kind of peope in your life.

ExNameForUse replies on 2/25/2024 10:52 am:
Do you take the risk - rational me says - NO. Took that risk too many times and made a mistake.
I do deserve good things to happen, we all do... and good people to be in my life, but I just feel too tired to take any risk and lose my peace again... not sure what could it be to make me consciously change my mind.
But life is full of surprises... right now, I like it this way and I think it would be very difficult for anyone to cope with me as I am now.

Dear Ex, I have lived that lonely life, or perhaps the life of solitude for a number of years, and I agree that it is difficult to let those emotions and desires that have been packed away back out again, but if we stop looking for those moments to arrive, then we may as well just shut out life completely, and I know because you have a son, that you don't want to shut yourself away. You are always looking for moments of pleasure with him, and even with yourself, given your intended vacation.

Dear lady, you need to be receptive to special moments coming into your life, not just the boring and mundane nes that come to you every day. It is then a possibility may arise that reignites those wants and desires that you had years ago, and which you still have now, even though they are packed away in the bottom draw of life. Remember life in general can be mundane and boring, but this life is supposed to be fun, exciting and fulfilling. You owe it to your contentment to have that once again. Besides, it is fun t have that partner to share it with.


ExNameForUse replies on 2/25/2024 10:57 am:
But I feel content living alone, looking forward to time with my son, and my vacation, but again alone... I just feel content being alone, and not waiting for anyone to text, to come, to say this or that, to have any expectations from me and me from him... I love my solitude and freedom.
Can you imagine how much that one person should care and love to accept me as this self-sufficient as I have become?
I can't.

I think brandi said it VERY well!

We can live alone yet still have a relationship!

but sometimes it will just feel right and the independence allows itself to melt into partnership (with independence maintained)


ExNameForUse replies on 2/25/2024 11:03 am:
It would probably be the type of relationship I could let myself melt into... but not sure there is anyone who could take me as independent and self-sufficient as I am, Arty. Those people are not easy to love. I am fully aware of that and it is why I think it should be something/someone extraordinary to work again.
