Submissive, in terms of, the supervisor wants you to do/obey as being told?
Has anyone experience this?

It depends what they want you to do. Sometimes it can be a sign of being a control freak. But sometimes they tell students what to do because (i) it's the right thing! and (ii) they have to protect their own as well as the student's reputation.

Does this supervisor have other students besides yourself? How does s/he respond to them?
