funny thing, I JUST had this conversation with my master last night. When I feel stressed and off kilter, I feel a deep NEED for his dominance over me. For example: in social groups I feel very uncomfortable and stressed. I "push" at my master and he snaps me into my place with a look or a word. Not really something I should "push his buttons" to get. I'm aware of that, but I was having a hard time communicating that which is why we talked last night lol. For me what it boils down to is when I feel off and unhappy and unable to deal, I can sink into being his submissive. Take a deep breath, and handle what ever is going on with a calm mind. Isn't a dom a wonderful thing for a submissive? I wouldn't want to be with out mine. Sorry for rambling
