how to tell someone youre talking to about your little space?

[mommyslittlegirl]

uH hi,

 

so i've been talking this girl for almost 3 months now. i feel like i should tell her i fall into little space when im overly stressed, but how? i dont want her to become a caregiver because i hate burdening people with my personal life, i just want to be honest and tell her more about things in my life. 

 

i have a lot of problems with feeling like i burden her with my problems and i work really hard to not feel that way, but im scared this will be the last straw and push her away she is really accepting and tries to make me feel better but im not sure about this.

 

because i dont want a cg, should i just keep it private?

Hi =) I am not sure but maybe you could try telling her about some of the activities you like to do in littlespace, rather than the headspace at first. I sometimes think if I told people the full extent things they wouldn't understand but when I say things like I like to colour in and watch cartoons to unwind, people are more accepting. Maybe you can start by talking about a couple of the more simple things you do and see how she responds. Maybe you can tell her about more and more over time rather than shocking her all at once. Im not sure if you think that might make it easier? =)

I've found that it's not too bad telling people this. Even if they don't understand, as long as they like you and care for you they'll still do their best to be supportive. You telling her about your littlespace actually might answer some questions she has about some ''odd'' behavior she's seen in you over the time you've gotten to know her. Maybe it raises questions, in which case you should just be as honest as you can. If she is a good friend, she'll continue being one. Telling people about your littlespace is not in any way an invitation for them to be a CG or anything of the sort, that's just you putting trust in a friend.

Hey ! I'm in the same situation so I'm trying the soft method too, just gradually acting more little around her and it's working so far

And I also feeling like i bother her with my problems too much sometimes but don't worry maybe try to ask her about if she is feeling fine on her part ?
