[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure what OP calls submissive. In a healthy relationship people submit and compromise all the time. Otherwise their lives turn into a nightmare. It's kind of sad that being a reasonable, kind, and supportive spouse often gets labeled as being a doormat. Most people don't know the difference if it hits them in the face.[/quote]

Some people are naturally more submissive by nature. They are followers, not leaders. They do not like confrontation. They are not competitive. They tend to be easy going, people pleasers. I would guess that they tend to be natural care takers (nurses rather than physicians, preschool teachers rather than college professors, homemakers rather then business people, things like that). I wouldn't say that they are doormats, necessarily, but more that they naturally feel more comfortable taking direction rather giving direction.[/quote]

I'm not really a leader, but I'm not really a follower either. I'm self-directed but don't much care whether others do what I say. [/quote]
