I need help in online interactions!
Posted for: Emailed to TNBD
Dear Prudence; I am a single male (55,Bi,husky). I need help in online interactions. When making opinion comments on sites and social media, I feel an almost overwhelming need to receive the approval of strong willed men who read my comments. I am a submissive male in my personal life, and this has sublimely carried forward in my online persona too. I really want to be a dominant “top” in my social self, but the need to be rewarded with acceptance, praise and compliments has simply over taken my pursuits and if I don’t receive a positive reaction from the strong males online, I feel like I’m missing a drug that I’m addicted to. Please do not tell me to simply quit my online interactions. I can not. But just tell me how I can handle the rejection and remorse which leads to anger when I don’t get the reinforcement that I crave. Tell me, should I drop the “top” act that I feel is not really me?
