Have you told friends/family about dd/lg?

[Guest 37stitches]

Hey everyone,

 

Have any of you told your friends and/or family about your dd/lg lifestyle?

 

I've not told a single friend or family member as I really don't think they would understand at all but I'm just interested to see if people are generally in the same boat as me or if they're completely open about it! If you did tell your friends/family about, how did they take it? I'd love to hear about it!

 

- Ciao

no one in my family knows, however I'm pretty open about it to my friends and anyone I meet, granted I feel they won't be a meanie.

personally I haven't received any negative feedback from it, but that may be because I'm very selective about who I'm friends with, haha

 

I think my family would be a bit harsh and not understanding, only because they're pretty traditional given their upbringings and they haven't explored the internet and its communities. because of this, I've always had to hide my gear and be careful about when/how I use it. I proudly display my stuffies collection to the whole world though

Totally in the same boat as you! While basically everyone knows about my boyfriend of 2 years, no one knows where we met (we met here), or about our relationship dynamic. Not even my therapist yet, haha. I'm mostly scared of being judged since my relationship with my daddy is a huge part of my life. My relationship with friends/family would be strained if they didn't have the capacity to have an open mind about it, so I've been reluctant to say anything.

I come from an old fashioned family. And although I think of DDlg as an extension of a good, old fashioned relationship where a man takes care of his beloved, thends to her, protects her and wants to make her happy at all costs, some of the more kinky parts of this wouldn't sit right with my family, friends, coworkers etc.

 

Also, my country is not as progressive as USA when it comes to "minding your own business", so I am careful on that front also. 

 

I think that for my "version" of DDlg, keeping it a secret wouldn't be problem even if I had to do it forever, because as I said, treating your partner right is good everywhere, and it's nobody's business what i do in my own house behind closed doors with my partner.

I have told a family member because I thought she was a little, like me. She is a little, but the Daddy/CG part didn't go over well at all, not at all. She brought up the fact that I should be independent (which I am) and should stay that way. In fact she was grossed out (had a bad impression from other stuff and a ddlg couple she met irl). She asked me never to bring it up again. That being said it hasn't changed our relationship. We are goofy together about serious stuff, but not little together.

Heya.

 

I've not told anyone either.

 

I wouldn't tell my family and I have one real friend I could tell as she's also a little but the last time we talked about it I was hesistant (my Daddy helped me to confirm that I was a little). Some real friends guessed I was a little before it was even confirmed for me.  The ones who guessed it took it pretty well (and even teased me, in the nicest of ways).

One of my friends I've known for several years through school once came over and was like "have you heard of the ddlg thing?" and we had a whole conversation about it. I could tell from her tone, she was more curious than trying to be critical about it. At the time, I was at a pivotal point of accepting my interest in it, and she was only a step behind me. We both left feeling better and less alone.

 

I'm not as close with her today, but it's still nice to know there's other people out there in day-to-day life.

[onkizomba]

I agree, why would anyone need to know???

 

It's not like you talk to everyone about your sex life too?

 

You talk with closest friends, but family...with family you choose to keep silent on some things

[Groon]

Those close to me know because there is a social aspect to life that is good and healthy and those close should be on your team no matter. So, being of a different bent and it spills over into real life, I love for my little to not shut down completely in public which can and most likely be seen by those close. With the world at large it was seriously iffy but we always tried to make our own space and draw in those close.

I don't really feel the need to discuss my participation in DDlg with family or real life friends just based on the fact that it's a kink lifestyle and that's private. However, while I don't advertise that I'm a little I don't exactly hide the fact that I love Disney, cartoons, hair bows, stuffies, coloring, or cute "little" things in general. Excluding the kink aspect everyone knows without being told that as far as my taste in entertainment, hobbies, style, etc. is concerned, I'm not a "real grown up" (whatever that means )

[Guest Mr Mister]

Not told a single friend or family member. I don't think they could understand.

[junebug0325]

My family doesn't know and I don't think they ever will. Same for my friends, I just don't feel like they would understand. However, I do not hide the fact that I love Disney or that I like cute things.

[XmochiX]

No, but I don't hide it, either.

[Guest BansheePrincess]

No, for the most part. Although, I think my sister suspects it. 

 

My family and friends are open minded, but I still don't think I'll tell them about it. Even though my family and friends are open to most things, DDlg is part of my own private space where I can truly be myself. So I guess I feel if I open up about it, it would no longer be 'mine' in a way. Saying that, I think my sister suspects that I am a little. We're close, my sister and I, and I think she can see through me on almost anything. Plus, I don't exactly make it a secret that I like cute things.
