Is DDlg a secret or open lifestyle for you?

[Guest Gentleman_Daddy]

There are aspects of my personality that would be misunderstood by some people and I certainly wouldn't share with co workers. In general I tend to keep my personal life quite private.

I feel proud to be little. Although I am unable to accept any Daddy for many reasons, but friends I met through this forum are supportive & understanding. 

However, I keep my all my professional, personal and friend life secret from everyone because it's hard for littles to open themselves even to their loved ones as they're hard to understand. I feel alone, but love to be lonely rather getting hurt and so I have high withdrawal symptoms.

Coming from the kink community and as a sex positive person, generally privacy is something worth maintaining. While I'm not a cynic, and I don't want to paint the world pessimistically, I learned a really hard lesson that should be taken seriously. 

... With that out of the way:

I've made some pretty sizeable mistakes in my life, but the biggest was last fall when I lost a professionally and politically powerful position because of a privacy leak. More authentically, because I made a mistake facilitated by ego, and it resulted in my termination instead of discipline because a member of the public found out and reported it to my work. Turns out, just because it's legal, and just because consent was confirmed, doesn't mean you won't be judged and in the most extreme cases attacked for it. Maybe I was deluded into thinking that Canada is safe from religious conservatives (at least on Vancouver Island), but I was gravely mistaken! 

TL;DR

1. Privacy is important regarding sexuality. We live in a sexually repressed society despite what the youngest adult generations may think.

2. Ego is the enemy! Don't let your ego grow out of control, it can exist without outright arrogance and it will do its best to ruin your life.

I keep it secret except in this community. I wouldn't want to put it on anyone. I feel everyone is entitled to their views and you shouldn't be judged in this world but in reality I think are likely to be. Hence secret for me.

I'm somewhere in the middle.... I never explicitly mention DDlg or being a little but anyone who has a rough idea of what those things are can probably tell by looking at me and spending time with me 😅

I mean, context is important here?

Like, I am bluntly honest about my proclivities and my interests in my own personal spaces - like online, or around my friends. I'm not at all ashamed of what I need to be happy in a relationship, and I'm more likely to go Scorched Earth and aggressively salt somebody's field if they got it into their head to be an asshole about it and tried to start something with me over it than I would be to feel any kind of shame or embarrassment out of it lmfao At the same time, it's not like everyone who's my friend wants to hear the intimate details of my sex life, so if somebody asked me not to talk about that aspect of things with them, I'm not going to, like, be a bitch and run roughshod over their consent or comfort zone.

It's not something I would talk about in a professional setting, like at work - but that's because it's a wholly inappropriate topic of conversation to bring up in a setting like that, just like I wouldn't give my coworkers an explicit play-by-play of any part of my intimate history. There's a time and a place for everything, and that's definitely neither lol

New to this forum, the idea of being open is appealing but also unrealistic for me and my life.  I can see being open with people in this community once trust was gained but not irl
