Older Little

[LittleChristina]

I am confused I just really realized that I am a Little. I have always acted childish and wanted to be babied. I have raised my children and now I find that I feel lost. Because I can’t hind myself behind them. I haven’t ever had a Daddy but the men I grew up with like my father and uncle were very dominant and I did anything they wanted me to because it make me feel good inside. It wasn’t anything sexual it was following their rules and directions things like that. I would like to be myself but I am afraid to. Can anyone please give me advice?

LittleChristina, 
Welcome to the family and best wishes.  
There's nothing wrong with you being older and little. I'm not sure what kind advice you're seeking, however feel to to add me, I will be more than happy to help you.

Hi Christina....I'm Sparkles. I'm really happy to meet another older little. I sent you a friend request. From my point of view this is a happy safe place for us.

Welcome! I understand as a 31 year old little amongst a multitude of much younger littles how that can feel, and I sometimes feel insecure about it myself. Honestly, our age doesn't make our identity as a little any less valid than the younger littles. You are who you are and the best thing you can do for yourself is embrace the little inside you. I tend to feel super depressed and unhappy the more I suppress it and I know other littles here feel the same way. You don't have to come out and be super public about it, but you should feel free to explore in your own home. Also, when the quarantine and pandemic has gone away you can also choose to go meet others in the lifestyle at public events if you so choose. Maybe start by making other friends in the community at least online and getting to know them. There are some discord servers where you can chat and do activities together. If you don't already have things to indulge your little side then consider acquiring some things for littlespace like sippy cups, cute outfits, stuffies, or whatever your heart desires. Get into fun activities like coloring, watching cartoons, arts and crafts, collecting stuffies and toys, eating "little" snacks, or using "little" utensils and plates when having meals. There is so much you can do and explore and most of it doesn't require having a Caregiver, though the experience can certainly be enhanced by it. Please let us know if you have any specific questions or advice you are seeking.

the fact that you have to specify that you did what your father and your uncle told you to didn't have anything sexual is really disturbing to me. REALLY, REALLY DISTURBING

Thank you Vampiress for the ideas I bought a my little pony’s dinner set. I love it. I have been reading more about being little and how to hide it from others.

Sounds super adorable and fun. 

[Frost Evergarden]

you are never too old or large to be little.

Hello !

 

As Vampiress has said: " our age doesn't make our identity as a little any less valid than the younger littles ".

 

I don't want to ruffle anyone but I would add: it makes it more valid than many younger who think all this looks very pretty, but don't have the distance to be sure that's what they actually are.

Thank you DollDirector.

Being little means your inner self is much younger than your outer self. So as we grow older on the outside, our childlike spirit remains forever young.

I'm 45 and am proud to be a Little. Age really is just another number. It's not who we truly are. I think it's brave and even healthy to embrace playfulness and youth, which to me is the essence of being Little.

At the end of the day "age appropriateness" are social constructs, completely made up. In my opinion, as long as you aren't hurting anyone, do what makes you happy. Be adorable

Age, size, color, religion, weight height vegan or carnivor etc ...it doesnt matter. You are what you are from inside out. It took me long enough to get that but since i knew and understood it it made life mire fun. I am a older DaddyDom so that, if said usualy gives a few frowns..even in the BDSM-world.. people dont understand normaly. And like said before snd keep in mind and heart...you are never to old or to little to be you.

[SharkPrince]

A favourite quote of mine perfectly fits here

Growing old is compulsory, growing up is optional

[Bluepandavideos]

Like everyone has said, age doesn't define how you may act or feel.

 

I struggled with the idea with being a little because im a tall plus size female. However, with encouragement from my partner and friends through this community, finding what makes you comfortable and confident will take time. You got this!

Hi!!!!!

 

So I am a 38 year old little (so considered much older in most places) but it's who I am.

 

I think when you are older you don't have to hide it so much.  I have my own home so I can have my star chart out, or have a teddy on my bed, or a craft corner or display colouring in on my fridge!  I can have my sippy cup out or eat off my 'littles' plate or make star sandwiches for lunch.

 

I can also pack all those things away when I need to.  But I'm making my home (I'm also new to it but it's always been there) much more little friendly for myself to encourage that side of me because when I suppress it it doesn't help!  

 

Feel free to friend me....I'm always looking for new little friends to chat to!!!
