Dealing with steady styles

Steady Styles may appear submissive, hesitant, wishy-washy, or even apologetic. You may need to draw them out. They just wish this whole problem would go away. Steady Styles will be made most comfortable if you:

  • Make them feel they’re personally “okay”;
  • Promise that the crisis will soon ebb;
  • Guarantee the process will be relaxed and pleasant;
  • Show you’re committed to working with them to iron out the problem and save the relationship.

Remember, Steady Styles get just as upset as Dominant Styles; they just express it in a much more low-key way. And they’ll quietly go elsewhere if their needs aren’t met.
