I'm embarrassed

[affinia00]

I am new to being a little and everytime I try and go into little space I just feel scared and embarrassed. I just don't know what to do

Are you alone? If so, there's absolutely nothing to be embarrassed about! I felt similar when I started sucking my thumb. The whole "this is for babies I'm an adult" attitude, but just don't worry about it. You're doing it for yourself, not for anybody else. I was always worried like "oh no what would I do if my friends found out?" but I realized that they won't find out unless I tell them!!

 

As for feeling scared, do something that makes you feel safe. Maybe watch a friendly cartoon, hold some stuffies, take a bubble bath, or color a picture! Do something that you enjoy and something that you know you can be uninterrupted and free to be yourself.

 

Also, as a side note, make sure this is something you want to do. If you're really embarrassed and feel strange every time you get into littlespace, maybe being little isn't for you. That's not a bad thing, you just have to find something that IS for you! That being said, there's lots of different ways to be little so maybe forcing yourself to have a littlespace isn't the way to go. Your littlespace is different from anybody elses, so don't let anyone tell you how to live your life. ♥
