You don't necessarily want it to be 'gone', you just need to grow. My personality changes from submissive to dominate depending on whom I'm with and the situation I'm in.
I'm also naturally submissive. I've taught myself to be dominate by increasing my self-confidence. Excess confidence is a sign of dominance. If I'm feeling low, I look in a mirror, and I recite everything I like about myself. Then I tell myself aloud everything everyone else likes about me. I emphasis stronger qualities. When I walk into a room, I think 'I know who I am. I am me. I am powerful. I am strong. I will not back down.' I hold my back straight, my head high and I tell myself I'm beautiful. Walking through a crowded hallway, I remind myself that I am important. That no one can just shove me aside.
Picturing yourself as powerful, is a great way to start getting others to realize how powerful you are. Just don't get cocky.
Remember there are always good time to cool your ego. Sometimes I forget this, especially when I'm out in public with friends, but all of them know how hard I push myself not to be stepped on. So they usually just poke me and tell me to cool off. Or my bf will gently bite my nose or my neck and remind me that he's the dominate one.
*giggles* and thats fine by me.
Being dominate takes a lot of energy to pull of constantly. Work yourself up gradually, don't just jump in.
Oh! and the most important lesson. When you do portray dominance, make others believe it. Don't walk into a room dominate, and then as soon as someone says something you don't like, become submissive. That doesn't fly well. If something you don't like happens, fight it. Become the Alpha Wolf, if you'll allow the analogy.
Thats about as much as I can help. The rest is up to you ^.^ Good Luck.
