How to understand this phrase

Hi. I'm wondering, what does the following phrase in bold, and a whole sentence mean?
I had gotten into the scene so much, that started to be very submissive.
  

Top answer

"I had gotten into the scene" = "I had become involved in / interested in the scene" "the scene" probably means a certain social environment. Exactly what kind of "scene" this is must be determined from the context. "that started to be very submissive" doesn't sound correct to me.
