Little-Block?

[switchlittleloves]

Okay so one thing that has pretty much always been a problem for me is that I have trouble getting into little space physically (doing my little voice, cuddling stuffies, and just overall interacting with my now ex-caregiver). I was just wondering if anybody else has experienced the same thing. I guess it stems from the fact that I'm SUPER shy and I get really self-conscious about the little in me and showing it. It's slowly gotten better with time, but it's still a big concern for me. Any tips or just people who have dealt with something similar?

Do you not do the little things even when you're alone? You haven't given much detail to go on here so it's hard to react appropriately

I have that same problem and I would love some advice too

I'm experiencing this right now! I'm really shy about it, too.

Yes it still happens when I'm alone. It's really annoying because a lot of times when I want to be little I just can't. I haven't even been able to cuddle my stuffies in little space until recently, and I've been a little for about a year! Yes, there are times that I can get into it, but most of the time it feels like there's just a block between me and little me. I'm sorry if it's too vague. I'm trying to explain it in the best way possible.

It is okay

I've experienced this as well! For me, it's usually because my brain is being way too active- I'm at my most little when I'm mentally exhausted, and little space has always been my sort of recharge-mindset. Going into little space, from my own experience, requires a loss of inhibition of some kind. Letting go of the societal walls that require you to ""adult"".

 

When I'm having trouble, I like to look through my favorite cute tumblr pages and watch my favorite cartoons- old Disney movies are also super helpful! Whatever you can do to focus yourself on something that little you adores, and will just bring the little out of you whether you like it or not- immerse your focus in that and your little side will shine through I hope that's helpful!!

Thank you so much for that advice!!! Now that I think of it there are plenty of things that kind of 'force' the little out of me. Last night my brother was watching a video that had a cute dog in it and I immediately kind of regressed and automatically exclaimed, 'it's a puppy!" I guess I'm just gonna have to relax and slowly build on the things that do this for me. It would help a lot more if I had someone here to be little with or something though. Gotta work with what you have though!
