This post made me smile.It's wonderful to see that there are people genuinely caring about other people, be it in the BDSM universe or the vanilla world. Really, really wonderful
I'm not currently in a relationship, but will take the freedom to talk about when I used to be with a dominant partner. Back then, his dominance did wonders to my self-esteem. I don't know exactly what it is, but I think what did it was the option to actually achieve what he had in mind for me. That I could be imperfect as I am, but still perfect for him. I think about 50% of why I'm into BDSM is to hear the "good girl" thing![]()
In the long run I didn't only get more self-confident with him, but also in the world. More secure of who I am, what I am...and that I'm a unique, loveable person. Quite amazing what a bit of kink can do to your life![]()

My Master definitely makes me feel better about myself. We both have had some self-esteem issues -- him worse than me, since he was a victim of sexual abuse as a child. Exploring our sexual fantasies together has helped us both to enjoy our bodies instead of feeling bad about them.
What makes me feel the happiest about myself is when he wants to take me out and show me off, especially when he has me wear my collar. The thought that someone so wonderful is proud to own me always makes me feel special and beautiful.
I love myself, I want you to love me
When I feel down I want you above me
I search myself, I want you to find me
I forget myself, I want you to remind me.
