Little Mode- Being called ‘bad’

[HisDumbBunny]

Today a person that I know irl who doesn’t know about this side of me told me that I was a bad girl and that bad girls need to be punished.

 

I instantly went into Little Mode, but since that person isn’t someone I’d consider Caregiver material, all I wanted to do was hide and cry...

 

Has anyone ever had this happen?

[Guest SUeB]

No. And if it did i would simply laugh at them. That would only get an emotional reaction if said by Daddy. Anyone else, and it would mean literally nothing to me.

I get how it must have felt, HisDumbBunny although I've not been in the same situation before. But someone talking that way can have powerful effects. Especially if you are alone at the moment.

 

I remember a friend of mine jokingly sending me to go brush my teeth and then go to bed on a sleepover. Even going so far to tell me to "be a good girl or else". I was a bit disturbed by the level it affected me but that was before I understood feeling / being little and being a bit of a brat definitely came in handy because I challenged him and he diffused the situation by cracking another joke. We all just laughed it off.

 

If he hadn’t been such a close friend at that point though it most definitely would have lead to me wanting to hide.

I'm tempted to compare it to intimate touch. It's stepping over a boundary so the reaction boils down to "fight or flight".

I can't say I've been in that exact situation, but I can sorta understand that feeling. Back when I had something even close to a daddy (he was the fiancee of my mommy at the time) I couldn't find a way to really trust him so much, so I was very defensive and confrontational whenever he made those kinds of comments to me.

Ha. No. I associate the energy with a specific person so only 1 person has that kinda power over me which can be a pain too because the simple "Dolly, Stop that!" in a crowded store will instantly put me into scolded 5 yr old kid mode.  I'd probably come back with some kinda smart assed response like "yeah, You're probably right - Hold on let me call someone actually equipped to punish me". I'll make jokes if its someone I know/am friends with because 90% of them know I'm involved in the BDSM community to some extent and they will crack jokes. Strangers/random pushy Doms making those kinda remarks however? Lol.. don't let the tiara and tutu confuse you.. Step over the line and I'll put you in your place and make you feel about 2 inches tall by the time you get there. Everyone has different perception though.. Some people associate the action with the feeling not a specific person... we're all different.
