because.. how does a sub know what to do on their own?
Because they can think?
I doubt very highly that the mind has anything to do with this.
In response to the thread-starter, I imagine many astronauts feel worthless or useless when they're taken off the space programs. A great many very highly skilled, talented individuals, people utterly dedicated to their line of work, whatever that may be, feel worthless or useless when they can no longer do it. Imagine an artist who loses his "drawing" arm or a mathemetician that suffers a minor brain injury in a car accident that robs her of her ability to think abstractly. I would wager that a great many people who crave the state of slavery but do not at present have it feel similarly. It can be akin to a vocation and if you are unable to perform that thing that you feel you were made to do, worthless is one of the lighter emotions that you feel.
I think you're also referring to those who eroticize worthlessness. It's akin to humiliation, in my experience, which is another sexual interest of some submissives that is often confusing to those who do not feel it. Feeling very "small" in all ways frees some submissives to worship at the level of intensity they need or desire. Not everyone knows that no matter how "big" you are, there's always someone or something bigger. Or, not everyone who is "big" to begin with has the patience to wait for someone "bigger" to come along. So it's something of an artfice, the worthless pose. You make yourself as low and as worthless as possible because then so many around you are giants in your landscape and worthy of the worship you wish to bestow upon them. When you do this, you aren't particuarly thinking in terms of being useful or desirable to a dominant; you aren't thinking about what the other wants. You're thinking about your needs and what will best get them fulfilled. That's not bad, IMO. "I want" is the natural starting point for most submissives and slaves. "You want" comes later, it's an advanced course, so to speak, and it only comes about, well, at least in practical, non-theoretical terms, via interaction with one's master.
