Submission: is it someone's choice or their nature?

Both. Let me give you a different example because we can play the definition game all day but at it's core this is an opinionated topic.

Imagine having a talent or a knack for something. Just because you may be naturally good at something or the idea of something comes "easy to you" does not necessarily mean you're going to choose to lean into it. You still have to make the decision to explore, develop, and define your specific place within that space.

I think all of us are a product of how we are raised, and the experiences that have shaped us as we grow. I think both have come into play with me, and made me heavily lean submissive when it comes to romantic interactions. "Making the first move" has ALWAYS backfired for me, since day one, and I learned, through conditioning, that the best way to be a good, pleasing, and fulfilling partner would be to let the partner directly take the lead.

I've sometimes struggled a bit with more subtle communication, that is, the subtle signals that are not always direct verbal. I need to be TOLD what to do, when to do it- as opposed to just suggestive stares, looks, smiles, or body language that can easily be misinterpreted. If she wants me to lean over and kiss her, she needs to tell me so, otherwise I won't risk a slap in the face (or a drink being thrown in my face.) I think this has been a factor in shaping my submissive psyche as well.

This is merely about my submissive personality in relationships. I haven't gone into how kinks may have arisen because that's a whole other can of worms I don't feel like getting into right now.
