Kvetching


While I am not one to discuss my feelings, wants, and needs much, I get very frustrated when somebody doesn't speak up when they are not getting what they need. It is astounding that most people seem to think that others can read their mind. I know that it is easy to think, particularly as a sub, that the dominant should understand what you feel, but that is not the case. However, I recognize my own fault in letting things pile up to a point they are insurmountable (or at least seem that way).

I am currently seeing this in a non-bdsm event, at a work conference. The presenter is not providing the attendees with what they want, but they are afraid to say anything. Part of the fault lies with the attendees who are absolutely ill-prepared and who did no background work for this class. However, they expect the presenter to somehow know their questions and descend like a god to solve every problem they have -- without anyone lifting a finger.

I feel it is important to know what it is you want or need, and to act on your own in order to get it. If I don't know how, then it is time to ask someone else, but I never expect someone else to do all the legwork for me.

*sigh* I just needed to vent.

There are times when everyone needs to vent. No one is a mind reader and sometimes the clues are hard to see. I like it better when people just say what on their minds.
