I'm still sick but on the mend. Hopefully by Friday or Saturday I will be able to jog again. I feel stuck intellectually too. I walked down the street to grab food and it felt like a lot of work. My new dog is still afraid to go outside unless it's the balcony. Hey, sometimes I am even afraid to go on the balcony because sometimes people try to talk to me when I'm hanging out there. The only people I like here are the Venezuelan landscapers and when I realized it was almost always those folks, I redecorated and started using the space once in awhile. It costs a lot to live here and almost everyone here works a 9-5. No my living space is average or below average compared to where you live, but it's the silicon valley and everything is stupid overpriced.
I'm back on the idea of being the master of my own domain. I originally got into BDSM for a few different reasons.
- I haven't had a lot of successful teachers and/or role models
- I'm sexually submissive and am interested in some of the sexual aspects of this
- I've always tried to associate with people who are a few steps ahead of me
- My successful relationships have always been with high-achieving extrovert bossy ENTJ guys because they are outcasts too, give me alone time, and see the value in me. We both communicate directly and dislike BS.
- The autism gives me a bit more of a black and white attitude toward gender roles so it's easiest for me to just pick a role and stick with it.
- I'm a direct person and I need direct friends and partners. BDSM focuses on direct communication and consent (hopefully).
- I was brutally attacked several years ago at the worst possible time and haven't dated or been intimate with anyone since and thought I could use kink to make peace with all that.
I think it's time to face facts that I'm grown and it's highly unlikely that anyone on any of these websites can mold me into a better version of myself better than I can. My assumption was that I'm stunted in growth because of the autism and not leaving the house thing. I tried a lot of different therapists, and please forgive me if this is offensive to anyone, but it was hard to relate to these people who didn't have personal experiences of actually having to overcome anything. I've been fighting my whole life just to exist on my own terms, especially when I was younger. Now the fight is more about stacking cash to continue to buy my freedom.
Just being open to finding a Dom, posting ads once in awhile, and responding to DMs is exhausting. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought a Dom needs to be superior in some way to a submissive.. So I went at this thinking, if someone is going to assume this role, they needed to be smarter, more successful, more organized, more emotionally mature, etc... Maybe my assumptions about this are why I have not been successful in finding a dom. Let me give a few examples, please don't take this as an attack anyone because it is absolutely not.
If you are 400 pounds, you probably shouldn't be teaching people how to lose weight.
If you are unemployed and broke, you probably shouldn't be teaching people how to get rich.
Do you see where I'm going with this? I've taught myself basically everything I know - I have several advanced degrees but that is mostly just about showing up and remembering to turn in 'homework' and bullshitting. And memorization. I've been doing so much by myself alone for so long. So when someone DMs me here wanting to dom me, and they haven't figured out how to make money, are obese (not fat shaming i've been fat before too), can't keep their ego in check and have an IQ that is at least 30 points less than mine, I can't take them seriously. I'm like, bro, I know you are a dungeon master in your RPG group, but that doesn't mean you have any business being the boss of me.
I'm going to use this blog to keep tracking my accountability, and hopefully that will keep me from popping off too much on dumb folks and getting my posts deleted. Believe it or not, I have no resume. I've been building up my linked in network, and that seems like a place to find a mentor or two (not a Dom, but maybe someone I can shoot a question to once in awhile). There are so many successful people in this area I can learn from, but I need to leave the house and be seen. I miss the jewish community. I may even give some of these local guys who want to meet me a chance.
Thanks for coming to my mother fucking Ted Talk.
