In case no one has told you: If you feel like you "have to dom" or are always "expected to dom", and it feels more like a task than anything, then maybe you're not a switch. Maybe you're "just" a sub who likes making people happy, and that's okay, but don't pressure yourself into providing something for others that doesn't bring you you, just to please them. I'm picking this example specifically in this direction because there's always been more subs around than doms, and it can feel impossible to find a dom without a switch/switch dynamic.
There's no shame in being exclusively a sub or exclusively a dom. It's also not "boring". Your preferences matter, they're very valid, and no one's worth ignoring your own comfort for.
Also, if you do enjoy domming or subbing and still prefer to call yourself only a sub or only a dom, that's very valid too. Labels should make you comfortable and not make you feel like you've stuffed yourself into a too tight box.
And while we're at it: exclusive doms aren't more valid or better doms, thanks.
