Can you have anxiety and be a Dom?

Omg stunning

Yep! Sometimes it does mean I can be too "in my head" for a scene but with a supportive and communicative partner I find I can get out of my head and into the right headspace to Dom.

Anxiety is a bitch babe here if you need to speak 🫶🏻✨

People are people on either side of the slash, and people experience a wide range of valid emotions including anxiety. Just because someone has mental health struggles it doesn’t invalidate their identity in kink spaces. Some of my most connective moments in kink, have come from discussing various mental health struggles with my D type and sharing with each other about those feelings so that we could better operate within our dynamic. Not only can D types have anxiety but vulnerably discussing these feelings within a dynamic can help you better understand whoever is serving you/whoever you are serving.

Doms are people. We experience a wide variety of emotions

Yes

Anxiety is separate from confidence... You can have both at once. I wouldn't even count that against a Dom unless they are letting anxiety kill their confidence and creating a net negative on the dynamic.
