Now, as a switch usually favoring bottom, but now with a newfound passion for being top, I'm afraid I'm rather split it two.

Because of a recent turn of events in a break up, I have become bitter, and in doing so, have wanted to make myself ruthless, 'cold'.

It is my submissive side that is asking me to make myself stronger, by eliminating whatever emotional attachment I hold-
But that is easier said than done, considering how I tend to put my needs below others, and that I'm much too sympathetic.

The usual way I have of being able to Dom, is by getting exceptionally angry or seeking revenge, or by either mocking myself, or the one I'm Domming over, but guilt will still linger.

So, what I'm asking is-

How does a Mistress' attitude come to be?
When did that spark hit you?
And is it reasonable to say that a certain event influenced you? Or would that be inappropriately acting on emotion?

My attitude comes from knowing what I want emotionally, not from disconnecting myself emotionally.

I'm not sure I understood correctly, but if you associate forming attachments with not getting your needs met, you're headed for trouble.

I had a terrible break up a few years ago. I was so angry at him and myself and the whole damn thing.

I decided I was going to "change" my persona and become a Domme, a Switch, a real Bitch to the males that I met. At first flogging a male's genitals was empowering and when he cried it was even better! I had totally objectified this male. And I was not pleased with myself when I got my head together. Yeah at first I was happy, but that wasn't me. I was hurting a person because it was about someone else and I wasn't focused on what I had in front of me. That was not cool.

Anyway, I don't know if I make any sense. But that's my experience. I'm a submissive and in truth, I have power in this true nature of my sexuality.

Good luck in what you wind up doing.

Holly

bringing anger to a scene is definitely not the way to top.

A good top will not play when angry. This is your first mindset mistake.

Being emotionally detached, removes the passion for doing anything.
Why waste your time and effort with BDSM if there is no passion for your activity?
You become bitter and angry from your past relationship. Your past relationship is still influencing you. Is this the what you want out of your life? If you want to be a Domme do so with passion and emotional energy. Do it because that is what you want to be. Not because you are angry and upset at a past relationship or being angry at someone.

Whether you are a Domme, submissive or switch be who you are. Changing who you are because of past relationship pain means your past pain is controlling who you are. Do you really want to carry that pain with you for the rest of your life?

I say cope and deal with your past pain and If you still want to be a Domme then go for it.

Be the driving force in your life means being you are the strongest influence in your life and not a past pain and or a past event.


Best Guess advice..

People try to do what is conventional, what society expects them to be, certainly not anything related to BDSM. People insist on being completely dominate or submissive in relationships because of who they are. It seems unlikely that a break up would change who you are. I would think that it might be more likely that you, acting dominate, makes you attracted to your self, who is submissive.

Thank you for the replies.

But, considering how I tried to squish things together, let me clarify a bit more.

I had been top in the simplest of terms in other relationships, but sunk back into bottom with the latest.
When then he presented the fact that he was a switch too, I was both mindfucked and ecstatic, and really got into it, but things ended before the true potential could be established, and so I had to halt my feelings, and am left the way I am now.


And I must say, to RoastedRodent, that I worded that horrifically, and meant in punishment/a different persona kind of thing. But yes, I do admit to the mistake of letting my anger come into play and posing a danger.

So in the end-
I didn't get to properly develop myself as Top, and with such a sometimes ruthless, unfeeling Top for a lover for a while, and only him so serve as inspiration, I'm...
haha, I'm doing it wrong, aren't I?

Ruthlessness and lack of caring don't have to be contagious. You'll have plenty more chances to be a top or be whatever you want. It doesn't sound like you're doing anything wrong so much as trying too hard not to hurt.

I have also gone through a horribly ruthless break up were feelings and emotions were disregarded completely. I have been left bitter, hurt, aching inside for answers, but my new found love and wife supports me.

I am the Dom in the relationship, but in past have been the Sub. I have been the Sub in most aspects of my relationships. I have allowed my self to be controlled.
Now I am married to a woman who is a natural Sub. She has asked me to bring out the Dom in myself.
I am more comfortable with being the dominant one now, after we discussed the positioning we both enjoy.
I go get to switch every now and again, but it generally comes from me telling her she is to the aggressor.
Anyways,for me, a man, which should not be so different, became comfortable with the Dom Mindset after discussion and developing trust.
The biggest thing for me is the communication. I do not feel any level of guilt because know factually that she enjoys every minute of our interactions and is comfortable with giving me control.

That's very different from how I feel.

Some people may get the impression when I punish or dominate my sub that I am cruel. But I am never acting out of loathing or aggression. Underneath it all I absolutely would not do a thing to him that I did know know he loved. There is nothing I want more than for him to enjoy it as much as I do.

Ironically, a sub has a full ability to slam on the brakes with his safe word, to define the limits, and to offer consent, so he has a great deal more control over the situation than it would appear if you just glanced in on him getting caned while strung to the garage ceiling.

But I get my rush from his reaction, not from any pent-up hate for myself, him, or others I feel.

the dominant women i know seem to know what
they want and are self aware.

as for ...bitter, ruthless, cold....

i guess you could to it that way.
but you should self evalue if you have
guilt about your life or the way you
live it.

I know I'm not supposed to say this, but I find a certain level of anger in scenes to be really hot.

I only enjoy it when I'm actually angry at the person I get to take it out on. That's when the mindfucks come out.

I have no experience in BDSM, sex, or even a single romantic relationship. But I can imagine that there are times where the memory of what happened is better than what actually happened, BDSM especially. I would imagine that it would become more intense if the top was angry. She might scare the bottom so bad that he forgets he has the power to stop it anytime. After things go way too far, the transition from being "out of your mind" to a more normal state feels really good. But the memory of the event, what you were actually able to pull off, would be the best part.

(I'm trying to figure out these things before they have relevance to me. I have a feeling that I will be single for a lot longer than I want to be, so I might as well learn everything about not being single so that if it happens to me it will be good.)

Being a highly dominant individual is part of my being. On exceptionally rare occasions I have allowed myself to experience things from a sub's or at least a bottom's view strapped to some piece of furniture and beaten silly.

I will not however play or punish my boy when I am upset. He is a dear thing to me and the idea of risking permanent harm does not entice me in the least. I may hurt him, but I will never harm him.

It is fine if you want to explore both sides of the experience in BDSM, but it is imperative that you go into each scene with a clear head regardless of the role you intend on performing.
