Why do you define yourself as submissive?

I define myself as submissive because I enjoy helping my partner in any way I can.

Though I may not be the best cook, I will cook for them if they ask for it (or if they're ill and need me to cook for them because they can't cook). Other things I like to do is to be their secretary in some way. I will be on top of the goings on in their life and to help keep them organized, which is a surprisingly easy for me considering my own ADD.

On top of that I like to keep things relatively clean in the house or at least as clean as they'd like it to be. (I have failed in that in the past, but it really does depend on the cleanliness of the Dominant I am with how clean the house is kept.)

I am also am masochistic, which to some, like me, goes along with their submission. (Just like how many believe anal is a submissive act, though I do not believe anal is something submissive it is something I enjoy.)

Now that I think about it, it's pretty hard for me to really define my submission. Mostly I just feel it in me. It's that need to please others that has been a part of me for years. I am working these days on finding more of a balance between pleasing myself and pleasing others through the therapy I am in. I think it will help me be a better submissive because I will be less stressed while serving my Dominant.
