Is anyone else irritated by baby talk?

[フロリン]

I'm happy for people who use baby talk. Perhaps it signals that they're very comfortable with themselves!

[Maarloeve]

it doesn't really bother me too badly.

[Guest BabyGirlE]

Baby talk drives me crazy. It’s definitely something that’s a “to each their own” type thing, but it’s not for me.

[kittyboo]

It makes me want to vom. My tone of voice changes in little space and I'm not entirely grammatically correct but actual baby talk irritates both big and little me. Fair play to those who enjoy it and the person they may enjoy it with, but nah.

So many comments and here I am to say, I hate reading it. I've ligit told people on chat I cannot talk to them because I cannot understand the baby talk text. In person it's cute if it's not all crazy and high pitched. It depends on the person too. This tread is about jot liking it. If you do like it and do it yourself, why did you come to look here when it would obviously be agaisnt your favor to read about those who don't enjoy it.

 

No one is taking your right from doing it. I do a "shy" voice in person.

[NPC]

I think I made it pretty clear I have a "To each their own" opinion on the situation. But I guess some people like to jump straight into the whole who are you to tell someone what they should/shouldn't do spiel 

 

Im surprised this post got so much attention. I guess I should have some gratitude, but i'm afraid it isn't there. 

 

 

For baby talkers and non baby talkers alike, I leave you on this pearl of wisdom

Lololololol. I don’t even talk babytalk to real babies it doesn’t bother me but it’s not really my thing. Like a PP I tend to just make words more cutsie when I’m so little in the moment. Or I use words like fluff or bun to substitute for other words kinda like the Smurfs used smurf.

 

So say I need attention I might text a cute gif of a kitten cuddling up to its Daddy and say something like “I’m all flufferpated” or ill cuddle up to Daddy’s lap and cuddle his tummy and tell him I just wanna bun down. ‍♀ Nonsense words are my baby talk I guess

[neko]

speaking in babytalk doesnt bother me but trying to read and decode what they're trying to say makes me so annoyed.

 

sidenote: I hate when littles pull the "teehee *blushy blush* im just a tiny baby look how cute i am" stuff. idk its hard to explain. I hope someone gets what I mean lmao

Yes! Same as when littles fake a very high pitched voice all the time. Like I'm not sure if this person is joking or being serious.

Me and my daddy have some funny insiders when it comes to babytalk but thats only when we are on our own.

Being new to the idea of ddlg, and trying to learn more about it on YouTube, I ended up walking away with the impression that baby talking in little space meant that person was a truer little or even superior little.

 

I "cutesy-talk," but it's definitely not as child-like as the youtubers I watched. I wondered if that meant I wasn't in a true little space or if these little had practiced. I wondered if I could get myself deeply enough into little space that baby talk would come naturally or whether I would need to practice to be a legitimate little and not just a woman with child-like aspects to my personality.

 

Now I'm wondering what the consensus view really is. I'm a driven, competitive person so the idea that just calling yourself a little makes you one doesn't jibe well. I want to do good and feel like my "little" title has been earned.

 

On a side note though: if baby talk truely isnt a ddlg thing, consider that when you hear a girl babytalk, maybe she is doing it because she came to the same conclusion I did. She's just trying to fit in and feel valid. You may feel more generously towards her.

Yeah, especially when I have to read it. If I am having a manic swing (just recently found out I am bipolar), and can manage to swing into little space, sometimes I'll do a baby voice. But I speak in complete sentences, and use actual words aside from like "thankies" or "bankie". Other than that, I've never really been able to get into it and cringe when I see it in print.

[chateautal]

I’m not a huge fan of pure baby talk - I enjoy conversation way too much (though possibly things might be different if very deep into play). However, I do find that when I’ve had a little, we’ve build a slightly more childish language to communicate in- and that I find very sweet.

[Guest MentorMike]

I never minded in my relationship as it wasn't constant and then not to the extreme. Random baby talk to other people is just plain weird for me. But I respect that some need that as part of their personality. 

[SamL]

There are too many predators on both sides of this lifestyles equation for me to care too much about stuff that, in many cases, is not a choice.  That isn't to say that we're not allowed preferences, and I'm certainly not judging anyone for having them - we all do, but maybe because I'm older and have been around this community in one form or another for about thirty-five years and seen too many unsafe, insane, and non-consensual stuff masquerading as kink to sweat the small shit.

 

As for the 'not a choice' line - my experience has led me to believe that a full 25% of littles/middles have DID and about 10% of caregivers.  If little space is accompanied by amnesia in whole or part - along with baby talk, that's a pretty good indication that the little is not making a choice.  We all have our issues, we all deserve love and acceptance anyway.

Took me thirty hours to remember this...sucks getting old.

I love to see you walk
Up and down the floor
When you talking to me
That baby talk
I like it like that
You talk like that
You knock me dead
Right off my feet

I think there's a difference between forcing yourself to baby talk, that it is learned behavior or that it just comes naturally and comes out as having a cute voice instead of babytalk.

 

To each there own, but I would still like to be able to read instead of making a puzzle before I understand whats been said.

 

My voice gets higher when I'm little, but I can't help it. It just comes natural. I have this my whole life, even when I was a kid. When I'm in my happy bubble, my voice is higher.

[Just a little one]

Im so glad it's not just me like it annoys me so much when I see people who talk 'wike dis' like some of the people who do it it's genuinely legible like I know the point it to regress but please speak in baic English (or your home language) and in basic grammatically correct terms.

[Lil Amulet]

YES!!! It makes me cringe. I hate it. I'm trying to learn about the little world. But my god it truly makes it impossible. I have an English degree. So I would prefer to speak as an adult. I use a small and innocent voice but I use proper wording and grammar regardless of "age regression " but I'm also very new to this. But I will always hate baby talk unless its from an ACTUAL baby.

[Guest TheQuiet1]

My voice is naturally very high pitched/airy/light/child-like. It makes me embarrassed to speak sometimes outside of home. And when I'm in little-mode it does tend to get even higher, and I tend to stumble over words or talk "baby-ish" if I'm really happy/excited. But it just comes naturally, I don't even realize it.

 

I can see how it could annoy people, but I really believe for most littles (and anyone not in the community who just happens to have a kiddish voice) it's not something they can help, or are necessarily "forcing" or making the conscious decision to do. And for that reason, it doesn't bother me.

[strawberrycupcakes]

Though it doesn't irritate me, I still find it pretty uncomfortable. I just don't think that fundamental elements of a person (like mannerisms, language, opinions) should be altered so much. It seems artificial and.. Try-hard? I don't know. No offense to those that like it, though. We all tick differently.

[Soulmatesearch]

I went to a munch in UK. was a boardgames night. There was a girl. Not very attractive in a grossly overweight, really doesn't look after herself type of way. Either acting like or was extremely unintelligent and talking like an infant.

 

That was my first and last Fetlife munch.

I found it so irritating and uncomfortable.

 

Not saying if she was attractive I wouldn't have. I definitely would have hated it, just saying that added to the annoyance.

 

I like the baby side of it all. But the baby talk is definitely not for me AT ALL

The cheeky sweet things here and there are different. And I think like others have said. It's that fakeness of it all.

[Soulmatesearch]

Not sure why that went so small.?

[Guest SugarNSpiceSam]

I never force my baby talk ever. It comes out naturally. 

 

Sometimes I have to feel really comfortable with that person for it to come out ever.

[Misha]

I do talk little a bit, but I don't know if it counts as baby talk. I talk in a higher pitched and more whiney or excitable voice, maybe sometimes say the words a bit slower. That comes out naturally. But I don't mispronounce them or say things like "wittle", "pweaze", "groffery store"- that annoys the hell outta me; reading it or hearing it. I don't understand how talking like that is not forced.
