I have every trait of a little bit I don’t feel like I fit the typical stereo type. Sometimes it makes me feel like a fraud. It’s like I hold myself back because I don’t want to be shamed and feel like I’m doing something wrong. Any one have any suggestions or tips?

[Guest Dulci]

Honestly, you're not alone! I fully understand where you're coming from.

 

However, just do you! You're not a fraud. Everyone is different and has different ways of doing things - I'm sure if you searched the forum you'd find many posts just like this one!

I’ve been browsing and seen a few.

People have been really mean to me, on like tumblr about being little. But I have felt like I am not typical, like I never truly was able to grow up, I was always coloring and collecting dolls and other toys...

I feel like a middle more then a little little. I love to color and things like that. I’ve been looking into it all day and I think I’m starting to find out that I’m more of a middle.

I'm a middle ^^ 

 

I was the same way for a while. I felt like being a little just wasn't who I am, and I felt really awkward and out of place. Even though I knew everyone does things different and there's no one right way... it just felt wrong still. Labels don't really matter so much to me but it can help you not feel like you're the only one and you're in the wrong place. ><

I didn't know that middles were a thing until daddy found something, so now I know that I'm something.

Oh that touched my heart.  You were always something! You just didn't have a name for it.

Like the others have said, lots of us have times we feel like we don't fit a stereotype. 

I'm 50 years old! I'm 5'11" tall.  Stereotype little? Ummm, NO. 

Or I read a thread about harsh punishments, or rules, or something else that isn't part of my Little life, and I used to doubt if I was a "proper" Little. That was when I first discovered DDlg. Now I know that we come in all shapes, sizes, ages and with our personal ideas of being Little and our own desires.

None of us are more "real" than another, and none of us are "better" Littles than another.

Thank you so much, I needed to hear that. I've just been struggling with everything. <3

Generally I don't believe we should ignore information that doesn't suit us just because it challenges our views. That's the sure way to a narrow mind.

 

But I DO believe we should be positive about ourselves. 

There's a time & place to challenge ourselves, we can't do it all the time! It sounds like right now you need support and encouragement, to remind you that it's perfectly ok to feel Little and to feel Little in your own way. 

So my advice (you asked for tips) is to IGNORE anything that kick starts your feelings of doubts or shame.  You might want to deliberately NOT read or listen to things that make your struggles worse. Don't "feed" your doubts, instead just let them fade away. Let you and your Daddy do things to help you accept yourself and help you to enjoy being Little.

 

** I use the word "Little" as a general term, to include middles, subs, pets, any name you want to give it. I use it for simplicity, not to be exclusive. **
