There's been a few cases of mistaken identity. It wasn't me who talked to your friend, I'm >>11350910, the anon from last thread who described spending three months with mistress, how to kneel, etc. I'll use this username going forward, after uncle Ned from The Erogamer. I'll talk to whoever though. mariescott.03 on signal. No that is not my real name.

>trying to caution your words
I tend to condition my statements so I never say things that are not True with a capital T as I understand them. It's not a D/s thing, it comes from writing a lot of abstract algebra proofs.

>Maybe you've had bad experiences with people like that
I've avoided people like that, because I think it reflects a lack of experience. Most people do not respond well to this, especially IRL. I think many more people fetishize the idea of meeting a dominant that comes on strong than are actually comfortable with or enjoy it in practice in the context of meeting new people at social events. It's often a better approach in practice to project confidence with your words, tone, body language, etc, then ask them about themself and see if they're comfortable opening up. This tends to work a lot better than projecting your worldview onto them and trying to prompt them for specific responses. If it's online maybe it works. People feel safer online to indulge their fantasies by roleplaying with strangers. But idk. I don't really do that, I have a preference for meatspace.

>truly get how switching works
>The act itself is a performance, but it is acting out real emotions underneath
It sounds like you have the emotional context for topping. How about for bottoming? It's okay if you don't feel the things you describe a slave as feeling. Many switches do not experience bottoming as the mirror of topping. It can be about something different. It only has to explain the activities you want to partake in.
