Quote: However, I haven't been reading many of the other journals on here since about a week into it because I don't want to read about someone else's experience and have that influence what I think should be happening with me. I mean, I want it to happen naturally from the sub (oxymoron?) versus self suggesting this is what happened to others, this is what needs to happen to me. Also, not knowing what to expect kinda adds an additional element of fun.Having an online journal is sometimes like a 2 edged sword. Yes, it provides Shannon feedback on what the sub is doing and it gives others a glimpse of what the sub is doing for you. However, for those that come from a lesser place (not being as far along as others), others can possibly start overthinking and over analyzing and wondering why the effects of x sub aren't doing that for them.
Don't get me wrong, I love the feedback, the confirmation of similar experiences, and look forward to offering the same kind of support to those who start the program after me. But for now I like mystery behind the "I wonder what traits/habits/attitudes are going to be instilled/tweaked/boosted next."
I think when I start future subs, I'll just keep things much more simple not not go off into too many details.
Get your pickles!!!
