Discovered A New Title!! ALPHA SUB

[Kitten&Spice]

We have all heard of brats, subs, littles, and middles! And of course with that small list we have many more labels and titles that we go by! I have always assumed that I was like a big brother when it came to other littles and I am also protective when I see a little in need! Although I am no where close to being a dom or care to be one it is easy for me to shift into caregiver mode when necessary! I used to call it being a bottom dom since I am not really a switch but always had a dominant personality with certain things! Well my friends I got good news! I had recently been told that there is a name for us littles! And it is called an “Alpha Sub”

 

Just to elaborate I will explain what an alpha sub is just in case my feelings and experience does not relate entirely! Alpha subs are in a way a lot like big sisters and big brothers. However there is a little something add to it. Alpha subs tend to immediately take up the role of caring for other subs and littles when placed in a group and tend to be the leader regardless of them being little as well. They tend to guide other littles and will even be the one to support littles in times of need. They are the ones to initiate activities, get things set up, and if they are a brat they are the ones to influence the other littles around them to be in the chaos as well! In a way some of their actions can be seen as a caregiver in a way. They are strong and confident and often sarcastic because they are powerful and playful. They are the problem solvers of the group!

 

They will attempt to take charge in a room that may be filled with dominants and will not stray away from speaking their mind and making sure they come out on top. And they might even initiate some actions and take over in relationships. However with all of this they prefer the dominance and will submit to their dominant.

 

If any of this sounds like you or something that is close to how you are in groups or in general then congrats! You are an Alpha Sub as well!

I really love your explanation of Alpha Subs! Really interesting label / sub-category. I feel like this also has a lot of overlap with people who are service-oriented subs, so even if they are littles, they step up to take on the responsibilities of set up/clean up, rallying people to get an activity going, making sure others are happy and things are running smoothly. The only thing that doesn't really cross over would be the "attempting to take charge in a room filled with dominants"

The dominance in a room of subs is probably a me thing then but it is definitely something I do a lot! I like to think of it as a disguise to sneak in and be able to hide myself as a dom while actually being a little! And I will always put a dom in place when necessary! And offer advice as well! I like to be sneaky like that

A sub who doesn't come across as a sub.  Quite similar to a brat

 

A quote from somewhere : (Though it is gender biased)

 

"A strong, confident female who is often sarcastic because she's powerful and playful.  She's an intellectual problem solver who is often misunderstood by beta and lesser males. She's a loner, never runs in a pack, and is a boss in her own way.  She controls every aspect of her life to the rest of the world, but will drop to her knees and devote her life for the love of her dominant"

Omg I did not know this, like I heard about it but never really looked it up. This is so cool cause I act like this all the time with my friends and family, cause I feel like protecting and caring for them. Plus I’m the mom of the friend group, sometimes I’m quite and like to listen to them or if there is a disagreement or fight I try to mediate it so it doesn’t get worse. And now I think this describes me a little bit more/better than being a normal sub, and theirs nothing wrong with being a normal sub.

Hmm, some of that description sounds like me, but some doesn't. I indeed like caring for others younger or less experienced than me, and helping friends who are shy, but I'm more than happy for someone else to take control too if they're up for it. Maybe it's because recently I've found it easier to make friends with younger people like college age and just feel like I have some life experience they don't yet and can give advice.

 

Among dominant people I rarely try to take charge unless I am the authority figure like at my job. I hate when a guest tries to tell me how to do my job, and I don't care how dominant they are. I guess the other time is when the dominant person is significantly younger than me (like 10+ years) and I can't shake the big sister feeling, but then I'm more equal with the person.

 

But I'm no brat. I like being a good girl.  I can be good by being kind and compassionate and helpful and caring to those in my life who need it.
