Things you love about being a little or even a caregiver

[penny]

I see a lot of topics dealing with the subject of personal shame surrounding being little and I myself have been dealing with this lately so I thought maybe we could start a thread and talk about the reasons we LOVE our little side. Or if you're a caregiver what you love about being a caregiver.

 

I'll start.

 

Personally I love that when I am in little space I feel completely relaxed and at ease. All of the stress of my day seems to melt away in those moments leaving me to feel totally at peace.

 

And since I'm kind of a switch what I love about being a caregiver is that I can give my little sisters and brothers the care and affection that they need and I love seeing them smile and I love to know that at least I can make them feel accepted as a little.

I've been dealing with a lot of shame too and wondering if this is healthy and everything just because of rude comments I've seen online lately surrounding DDLG. And it makes me feel like I've gone completely mad. So I really appreciate this thread and maybe it can help me.

 

I am a little. And I love my little side. I love many things about it. I love my little voice mostly. Being able to just destress and be in a little world where everything's nice and colorful and not dull and gloomy. I love my little self because she is fierce, confident, and innocent.

Despite how tough it can be at times I love being a little! It's who I am! I love coloring and stuffies and being giggley and silly! I love how excited my other little friends and I get about things we love! I also adore that it's okay to be so innocent. In the real world people ask what's wrong with me, why am I like this but being a little I am with people who don't ask, they just know and even if they have more experience than you are equally as adorable and lovely nd kind! Littles and I'm sure Caregivers as well bond together and become one and it's a special feeling that even when you're down you're not fully alone.

@lilkittee There is nothing unhealthy about the dynamic unless you're in a relationship that isn't healthy or you feel like being a little is in some way impacting your life in a negative way. I've talked to many therapists, friends and random people and it seems to me like most of the judgment about this comes from people who don't understand or are quick to associate it with pedophilia or just being little with being immature when we as littles and middles know that there is nothing immature about it. I've found that it's a lot easier to just ignore comments from people who don't know you or your life and just do what makes you happy because happy is healthy no matter what form it takes. As long as you're not hurting anyone or yourself then you're good.

 

Another thing I love about being little is how easy it is to make friends in this community. Littles bond in a way that grown ups dont. Most of my closest and best friends are littles and caregivers and I don't know if it's just because we all silently understand each other in a fundemental way or if its the comfort of having one or two people you can really be yourself around. I know for me I feel like I have to hide who I am a lot and that doesn't help the shame factor. I tend to feel strange or guilty when I buy new toys or binkys but at the end of the day I realize that everyone has something about them that is a little bit strange and there is nothing wrong with that at all.

I love doing "little" things (no pun intended) that makes my baby feel special. We are in a LDR so I will either record a story that I make up or from a book. We both have Tumblr accounts so I will post things from my heart or that she enjoys to let her know she is on my mind. I will write her notes on Skype so when she logs in they are waiting for her. Even if we are just talking online and I offer her a sucker, she gets so excited. I love that.

 

I love it when she feels safe, we can laugh together, and discuss her activities while in little space.

What I love most about being little is that I'm able to trust someone to take care of me and all of my needs. My daddy does all that he can to take care of me, even though we're LDR. He knows more about me than anyone. I love trusting someone that much to be able to allow myself to be little and vulnerable.

I love being able to let go and be vulnerable. Being little helps with my anxiety tons xD

yeaahh! I love acting silly and cheesy, etc. the vulnerability/honesty required is scary, but I can fully be myself on the other side.
