Something to ponder on...
In a recent comment someone mentioned that they thought one reason i might have been so easily deceived by a fellow online sub, and also a reason why i might have had problems with this in the past online, is due to my submissive nature. Does this make me more likely to accept what people tell me at face value? Am i more trusting and gullible because of this?
i think i'm naturally quite a trusting person and i do tend to believe what people tell me, especially what they tell me about themselves or the way they present themselves to me. i tend to think that everyone is completely honest and open about who they are, what they do and what their motives are, which is another reason it took me a while to realise just how many people online are fakes and players. i think i've got better at being able to spot them, but the question i really want to ask is:
are you as a sub/slave naturally trusting and accepting of what other people tell you, and do you think this is part of your submissive nature?
Comments pleasssssse!

I am very gullible and naive. I've always believed the best in people, and trusted people. I have been burned time and time again because of it. But in the end I still prefer to have my rose colored view of people, because the alternative (not trusting anyone) sounds even less appealing.
9:43 PMBut I don't think I'm submissive because I'm naive, or vice versa. I just think it's just another facet of my personality.
thanks for replying, Danielle. i think i'm going to ask this question as part of a poll or survey to see if i can get some more people's perspectives on it.
11:37 AMYou know what I think, more or less. I even answered your poll ("other and naturally trusting" of course). It's possible I have some sub leanings but I can't tell because, while I'm usually quite amiable to follow, I believe it's more because I don't really give a hoot one way or other.
1:19 AMFor so, so many years I had an inferiority complex the size of Nebraska which led to me trying to please everyone. It also was the source of my utter fear of women but that's all overcome now. Ok, maybe 97% overcome. Can one completely "get over" feeling inferior?
Anyway, the best explanation for how I see the world was what my Mum used to (and still does) say... I live in Never Never Land and Peter Pan got nothing on me.
living in Never Never Land actually sounds quite nice..... i've published the poll results now, btw
