How did you figure out you were little?

[Guest liljeannie]

I've been on this forum for over a month and I'm happy I found it. I'm really learning a lot from the topics here and realizing just how much I slip into little/middle space. I never really understood what it was before tbh. It was just me deep down and then I would have to reluctantly wear my big girl pants when out in the world. There was definitely a time where I suppressed that part of me to stay in control, which caused a lot of problems. So here I am in my 40's figuring this out.

 

I'm starting to realize that I feel younger at times than I originally thought, and think I might be about 7 ish when like that. I'm very tentatively going deeper into this because it's a little intimidating to just let go and be little.

 

What has been your experience with this?

Sounds stupid, but i googled my personality lol. I still suck my thumb and have a blankey, so i just literally googled "Adult thumb suckers" and was led here. I haven't looked back since, and have just recently dipped my toes into the world of ABDL with my Daddy <3 Just go with what you feel, cos its authentic to you, and if you are unsure, just ask, or talk or google ^^ <3

I always knew I was a little because I never emotionally grew up. I always felt something childish within myself and the way I act. Could be PTSD, I'm not sure.

I always loved cartoons an superheroes and always wanted to be taken care of. cuddled, held, ive had a childishness to my personality. so when I was 24 I did some googling and it led me to littles and the community as a whole. it help me understand the personality that i have.

Daddy has always been a fiercely protective and caring Dom. I responded rather positively to him calling me princess, and he responded equally well to a photo of me with my toddler’s dummy. They really are very soothing...

Hey there friend !

 

I started out as a plain ole submissive. I’ve always had knowledge of the dark side (he he he) , but I felt like something was missing from all of the relationships I had. I started researching the most intense forms of relationships and different terms under the bdsm umbrella. I ended up finding a documentary called The Fifteen Stone Babies on YouTube. I resonated with how the littles felt in the documentary and cried my eyes out watching it. I always felt like I was never “a good enough” submissive because I’m extremely tough and independent. I have a sassy mouth and attitude and would exasperate old partner(s). I researched more and more , found out there were age ranges people gave themselves and kinda slipped right into the murky cave that is DD/lg(lb) MD/lg(lb).

Hi I've always been childish and I always wondered why I still liked the same things I did when I was a child while my friends outgrew them. I thought I was a bit immature, but always hiding it from the public (specially at uni or work). I always felt like there's this inner child inside me that is stronger than it should be, but now I know there's nothing wrong. It's just the way I am. And there's also a sucking thing for me. I don't know if this is normal for other littles but I've always found comfort in sucking. And then I learnt adults could use a paci too

 

Anyway, this is just the way I am, and over a year ago I found out it has a name and I'm not the only adult who is this way. So I started reading more about it and I realized I was a little

I've just pretty much realized it's part of me. When my Daddy and I started dating we explored it more together. Not really exciting or complicated.

I checked the mail and my Little certificate of authentication had arrived.

It's a 4yr course and you need experience in the field before you can graduate. But once you do you receive your certification and a box of Pocky.

It was both complicated and exciting.

Thank you all for your answers. I was having a big bout of insecurities pop up so it was good to hear about other peoples experiences. It help me.

I had and still do have bouts of insecurities. Our little side is so important. It has helped my brain to be calm when I need that. It took a while for me to accept my little side and be okay with it. I knew I always acted "immature" and seemed more emotional at times. With time and research I've come to understand myself just a little more. I'm sure there's more I will discover with time.

I found out when i found the term ddlg and discovered I already did 80 percent of what other littles do. Im a natural little!

For me, I always knew that I needed something a little different from a "normal" relationship. I loved feeling babied, protected, and cared for - but in a deeper way than your average relationship. Then I discovered DDLG through the internet and after doing my research and watching lots of videos - I became extremely intrigued in it. Eventually I introduced it into my last relationship and slowly but surely fell in love with it. My connection to it has only grown deeper over the years. As my connection grew, so did my little space tendencies, such as playing with toys, collecting stuffies, etc. I'm still learning a lot about who I am as a little.
