Male Repellant
...Perhaps I should start a blog with that username... Seems more fitting. You can ask any Dom or guy I have spoken to and they will tell you that I set myself up to appear displeasing to them. In public situations, it is worst because anxiety overcomes me to a point where I don't let my best self shine. In one particular case, I met at a cafe with a potential Dom I had spoke to for a few months. He found it hard to get communicate with me since I didn't make eye contact and would stare out the window. Now, before I receive emails or comments about my behavior, keep in mind I did tell him I was a painfully shy person. I am not saying that excuses what I did but it is a reason nonetheless.
I lack confidence when interacting with others in public, especially with men. If I really like the guy, then the anxiety multiplies and may result in the previous experience I mentioned. Often, I daydream about being able to be confident with a guy and just be me, whoever the hell that is! LOL Say men would say I have that confidence, I'm just not aware of "it". Recently in a phone conversation, the man on the other end told me that within the first minute of speaking to me (it was pretty ordinary conversation), he wonder how I sound when I moan. In another case, a man I meet up with was so turned on by my lips and what he 'claims' I was doing with them (shit, I don't know!) that he took me right on his living room floor... was a good night in december.
I wonder in a D/s relationship, how does the dominant handle a sub with this problem? How can a dom help a submissive to become more confident about herself and with her dom or other men (if the relationship is open)? I imagine being in for a long lesson on this issue.

I am a very very shy person. I don't think I get as anxious as you, but I have shut down and become withdrawn and quiet in social situations. How did my Dom handle this when we first met? I don't think he so much "handled" it as he loved it for being part of who I am. And that was what has actually helped me, the way he has always considered my shyness to be an asset, not a burden or something to be dealt with. I don't know about you, but for me, the pressure of dealing with this shyness is often the thing that pushes me over the edge into palm-sweating, mind-blanking panic. But oh! to be embraced for being shy, to look into the eyes of someone who sees it as something precious to be protected--there is no safer place.
Here's wishing you luck and courage in your lessons. May you find someone to help you learn them in gentle ways.
Thank You for sharing your story, I hope I am as lucky as you are in finding someone views my shyness in the same way.
Depends on the sub, the Dom and the situation. Generally it would be my expectation that that would be that I would work with my sub to understand and overcome those fears, or find her her some professional help ( I am not a licensed therapist and sometimes that's what it takes). I certianly wouldn't consider it bad or wrong though, everybody has their own littel quirks, that's what makes us human and interesting!
