How do you know you are a submissive or have the potential to be a submissive? How do you feel when you express your submission?

i know i am a submissive, because i have this deep seeded need to obey Someone. i do not know why that is. What I do know is how it makes me feel, when i hear the stern tones of a Dominant, the commands to perform some task. It sends a thrill through my mind and my body. i know i am a submissive because of the desire to be tamed, and brought to kneel. i know i am a submissive because of my need to submit my mind as well as my body to a Dominant. The stronger the Master, the more mind control He can take, the more i feel alive. When a Dominant displays His dominance, i find myself naturally submitting, it’s a second nature, one i don’t even realize I’m engaging in.

i know i am submissive because i have a strong will, a rebellious nature that requires the skills a Dominant has. Those skills balance me, allow me freedom from the oppression that i feel in my own mind. When my mind is freed, my spirit is calm. When I submit to a Dominant, i feel a sense of relief from the anxiety that most often wars within me.

One Year later:
The same is still true now as it was then with one added measure. i realize that i don’t often make the most sound of decisions or choices. i am an emotional creature by nature and as such, i tend to react out of emotion without always thinking through. Submission, gives me boundaries in which to live in. So my emotions are allowed freedom, but within those boundaries. My decisions are not made as rashly and i am less likely to change my mind about a decision or choice knowing those boundaries prevent me. i like rules, i have to have rules. i have to have boundaries.

My sister Kayla’s response:
To be honest I didn't know I was submissive at first thought no way wasn't for me but I gave it a shot and know now that was I've been all along I need that structure and limits and guidance in my life. When I express my submission it makes me happy and content
