To me that 'when' reads as "at what level" rather than "at what time". The key word that gives that impression is the inclusion of the word 'being'.
Perhaps you are correct. I concede that I may have misinterpreted that.
I am very interested in your opinion of the rest of it.
And no, there is no personal like or dislike.
Noooooooooooooo. I just wrote out a long, considered response to this and it disappeared. Gah!!!
I laid out my feelings on being a brat earlier in the post, but as it was before the arguing I guess it was easy to miss. In terms of the questions, the one relating to therapy I think relates to the post a couple of weeks ago which did not impress me. I am a highly successful person, I am a well adjusted adult. I do not need psychological help to overcome any issues. I've seen similar comments aimed at Littles and to me it's kink shaming.
Do brats get a bad rap? Yes. Is it deserved? Sometimes. I spend a lot of time elsewhere in a 24/7 munch and there are a group of brats in there (younger, mostly. In their 20s) who are, let's face it, annoying. They were told off for their behaviour the other day and their response was that they can't help it. They're brats. No. You are in control of your behaviour and there is a time and a place. IMO that's with your Dominant within your dynamic. Enforcing it on a group of people trying to have a kink chat is disrespectful and disruptive. It's also akin to role playing. When Pets and Littles engage in that, they are shut down. The same should apply to brats.
What do I expect from my Dominant? I expect them to enjoy it, and to play with me. My bratting mostly takes the form of mental banter or little mind games like finding loopholes. It is supposed to be entertaining. It also allows ne to "test" my Dominant (another of the questions) by seeing if he can outsmart or outmanoeuvre me. No, I don't do it all the time, because that would be exhausting and annoying for both parties. I look for intellect and intelligence in a Dominant, it's something I need to be able to submit, and this is a way to see and feel that, and try to test myself against it. I'm not looking to win (I don't want to win), just to play. I had a better answer to this typed out, but it ran away...
