little headspace around friends?

[Guest plushbee]

i tend to go in and out of a little headspace whenever i'm feeling stressed. i guess maybe it's a coping mechanism? i'm sure some of you understand this, if not most!

sometimes, when i'm around friends i'm super comfortable around (but still don't know i have this kink), i start to feel myself go in and out of a little headspace and i'm not sure what to do when this happens..

do any of you experience this? what do you do?

All the time I only figured out I was Little last year, but it's always been a part of my personality. I remember being a preteen and wishing I was 5 again. I tried to act more "grown up" at some points, but during college and after I started just allowing myself to be me more and more around people I was comfortable with like my friends.

 

I don't think of it as a kink. It's just my personality. My friends accept me for who I am, or if I go a bit overboard whining I might get told to stop but nobody's shocked. I once accidentally had a fit while playing a card game and threw my cards all over the table, and my friends were just like "are you hangry? Maybe it's time to order pizza - what kind do you want?"

 

It's not wrong to feel little around friends or family. You just feel safe enough to be vulnerable. Lots of people express parts of themselves around their close friends that they would never do in public life. Tell your friends you appreciate how they don't judge you for how you act when you feel stressed out. They might even like being able to care for you.

I have experience this as well usually around my people who i’m very comfortable with or in a comfortable environment. I lit it ride for a few min cause i usually just get the giggles and watch things and kick my feet or i mumble to myself in baby voice. It has not been a problem for me cause during serious talks or moments lets me come out of my little space and i can control my emotions.

Sorry if this isn’t helpful i just wanted you to know what i experience.

I can control my emotions well cause like i do meditate with music Playing cause it keeps my mind in check and calms my nerves. i have a very active mind so listing to soft or slow music calms me and my little side love sing to music or listening and dancing (wiggling) to it.

I've definitely been super close to going into little space when around vanilla friends who don't know I'm a little. Especially when we would go do some of my favorite little activities. What helps me remain in my adult head space when the time, place, and company aren't conducive to little me is doing things that aren't little. For me that means saying some curse words, ordering an alcoholic beverage, checking my work email (nothing pulls me out of little space than grownup responsibilities); things that directly contradict me in little space. That keeps me feeling adult and the urge to go into little space passes.
