Being In 'Little Space'

[Guest LittleMuse]

Hi. I am new to this community and honestly, I am a bit confused? Worried? I don't even know how to explain it. But the main point is: I don't know if I am a little.

 

I have never been in 'little space'. It might be because of my living situations and how I don't have time where I am home alone. But I don't exactly know what little space is.

 

I have been told that when I trust someone and when I am having fun, I tend to start talking like a child. I love cute clothes, cute things in general, stuffed toys, and being taken care of.

 

I don't think I like pacifiers and diapers etc. I say 'I don't think' because I have never tried it and I don't like saying I don't like things without trying them.

 

So how did you 'find out' or 'determine' if you are a little?

 

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

It's hard for me to define too! I don't get into any of the "little things" like stuffies, pacifiers, baby talk, onesies, etc. But I know I'm little because it's how I feel. And even that is hard to describe. I don't have a little age or little space. I am little all the time, and it's just how I am as a person. I think other people experience little space at certain times or with certain people, but the timing and location is irrelevant.

 

If you feel little, just roll with it! There are no rigid determining factors. Every little is a unique little. Try what you want, don't try what you don't like.

There's no way to define what a little is or isn't. Everybody likes different things and has different experiences!

 

Personally, I don't have a little space. I'm not a "typical" little, and it's made me wonder quite a few times if I even am one! I just did what I wanted to, and decided to put a label on myself. It was kind of scary at first to call myself a little, especially since I never quite fit into the mould of what a little "should" be. I was scared people would call me a faker, or stuff like that.

 

One day I was talking to my other little friend, and she told me that she liked it that I didn't try to push myself into being what I thought a little "should" be. I was just myself, and I was naturally a little.

 

You are who you are, stay with the community for a while and see if you belong here. If you like it, stay. Even if you're not a "traditional" little, you can call yourself whatever you want. Don't let anybody tell you who you can or can't be ♥

Well...I think little space can be different for everyone.  When I am in little space, I don't always talk little (unless I'm sleepy or don't feel good usually), but I always like stuffies, no matter my headspace.  I like binkies when I'm really anxious or can't have papa at all for bedtime.  But...it's just like...I feel little.  It just happens sometimes, other times, I'm really sleepy or see a cute puppy, or I don't feel good.

Like most things, it's different for everyone. There's no definition, or checklist of things you have to do/be in order to be a little. 

 

I've never been in little space, either, and I put that down to it not being part of who I am as a little. I have no interest in pacifiers, diapers, or baby talk. I just like to feel small and be taken care of, and a part of who I am is someone who enjoys being cute and doing traditionally childish things. I think I lean more towards being a middle. But what I am is based on how I feel, not what is typical of a little. 

 

Maybe little space just isn't a part of your little side, and that's completely fine and doesn't make you any less of a little. There's no right or wrong way to be a little. There's also no way to define or determine what you are. It's just what feels right to you. 

 

So good luck discovering yourself, and don't be disheartened by anyone who tries to tell you you're not a little because you don't wear diapers/don't talk like a baby/any other stupid reason. All littles are different, and all littles are valid.

I don't necessarily have a little space or things that 'trigger' my little space, it is generally how I am as a person. I never considered it strange to be quite open about how much I love teddies or how silly I can get or how I go around making up weird words and communicating without proper words :') Until quite recently that is... that I realised girls don't hoard teddies like I do lol. The more comfortable I am with someone, the more little I can be. For instance, whilst I'm comfortable rubbing my face into my blankie and mumbling weird gibberish like a child that hasn't learn how to talk around my Daddy or my sister, I would never, for the life of me, do it around friends. Some days I feel little, others I don't and the majority of the time, it is completely random. Some days I just want to be taken care of and told that everything is ok!! I can only really 'make myself' little if I am willing or if I asked to feel like that and if my Daddy is around to coax me into it. 

 

Every little is different  

 

There's no set guideline on how to be a little, if you feel it suits you, then that is what you are. Some people may prefer not to have the titles and that doesn't make you any less little either, you can still relate to the lifestyle.

Hi, Little Muse - 

 

I'm not exactly sure what "little space" is...I just know that at times I feel very calm and relaxed if I can get out of my head and feel everything...feel small, open and vulnerable and in need of caretaking.  At those times, using childish things...cute little children's dishes, a pink pacifier, a stuffie, wearing a short pastel "babydoll" style dress, putting my hair in pigtails with ribbons...all those things help me to stay in that space where I can feel relaxed, loved and nurtured...where all is good and safe in my world.  If I were talking with someone then...I would be much softer, more vulnerable, more deferential than I am as a Big Girl.

I echo what everyone else here says. There is no right ot wrong way to be little. What makes you little is that you feel it inside, and this could manifest in all manner of ways.

 

I'm not into regressing to a really young age and don't have a set little age. I am probably more of a middle/nymphet, as part of my little personality is very naughty/bratty/flirty.

 

I think that littles are often portrayed at the more extreme end of the spectrum. In the same way that not all subs want the more extreme kind of relationship portrayed in a film like The Secretary, not all littles want to use nappies/pacifiers.

 

I think it took me a while to indentify as little too, as the main media portrayals I'd experienced didn't seem to reflect who I was.

[DaddysLittleRageMonster]

I agree with everyone. Personally, I don't have a specific trigger for getting into little space. My version of little space is pretty fluid. I can also bounce out of it pretty easily. Sometimes Daddy will have political stuff on while he's making me a snack and that will make me feel big, but getting back into little space doesn't take too long for me. 

 

I also agree with Littleblondeone. I feel like littles are depicted in one way; as people who are always in little space and have a set bedroom/area that they can go to in order to trigger it. Not everyone has that and it's okay. If you do have something to help get you into little space, that's also okay! There's no one way to be little. :3
