Losing my Little side

[BbyKitten82]

Just recently I have felt like I have lost my little side. When my Daddy or Daddies call me by my Little names they have for me, I dont feel a connection. Has this happened to anyone else?

It happened to me and it's sad... but I think you should try taking care of yourself as a "little". 
For example: don't try to feel things when a daddy does something... call yourself by cute names, play games, give yourself rewards and punishments.

Maybe this will help you to understand yourself better (what do you like or not), and connect more with your little side without the pressure of a daddy.

However, if you still feel like you are not longer a little, don't worry and try to accept this new you... because it's still you and you are awesome in any way. 🐻❤️

Ariadna is very correct  Some littles and some caregivers do outgrow the roles so don't put pressure on yourself.  See what feels right to you

I would like to ask a few questions to understand your feelings better.

Is it just the "little names" that you feel disconnected to?

Do you still enjoy the same (little) activities you used to?

Do you still like the dynamic with your daddies and spending time with them otherwise? 

It could be a case of you not seeing your caregiver/s as your daddy anymore, so you don't feel right having them call you little names. Or maybe you've outgrown those specific terms that are in use and would feel better with new ones. Or maybe your little side is taking a break, making it hard to enjoy the little lifestyle.

Try searching your feelings and follow your instincts - if being little doesn't feel right at the moment, don't force yourself! It's not a bad thing to take a pause and figure out what you actually want  and need at the moment.

Those are good questions.

Do you ever think you may relate to being more of a middle at this point?

 I've had times when I've lost touch with my little side because of stress, depression or other life events.  I was able to get it back. Since I don't know your situation, I can't really say that that is what you're dealing with but could be a possibility.

The comments with questions for self-reflection are really good! Another thought I would add is to check in with your mental health. In the past I have lost touch with my little side before and that was heavily due to stress. Age regression plays a big part with my self-care. So, when I'm feeling a block for that it means something else is going on with me that needs attention.
