That is the thrust of what I was saying. I was frustrated because basic communication seems to be very difficult for most people, and it makes building a friendship, much less a dynamic or relationship, next to impossible. And it's something that's fairly common regardless of age in the community.

I agree with most of what you say! My journey is different, yet similar. I'm 45 and I know from 19 - my mid 30s I was pretty unsettled on what I wanted in a relationship. I didn't know about kink or ddlg until the last 10 years. Even now, I'm still trying to navigate what I want in a relationship plus what I need when in littlespace from a partner. I do consider myself abdl, due to some health issues, and that seems to make things more difficult with finding a potential Daddy. Discussing my body is difficult, but so many potential Caregivers jump to conclusions about what I want because of the abdl and the younger age regression. Few take the time to know me as a person outside littlespace. Several Caregivers have even left me very vulnerable in littlespace and not checked back to make sure I was recovered later. Being super little is an added layer of complexity. Communication is so incredibly important and so difficult online. Words alone don't convey the depth of emotion people are experiencing. Going slowly is so very important. Building friendships that grow into more is so much safer for everyone, big and little. (Extra note: not all my experiences were on the forum either. I have found the most support, safety, and accountability here on this forum.)

Duly noted. I appreciate you sharing your experiences. I've been in the community for 14 years and have had partners from the ages of 19-44 over that time. I'm commenting on a common theme I've noticed, and I understand that people who are 18-25 are still figuring themselves out. However, everyone is different, and my experience with the 25-35 range has been largely the same, and at that age most people have kids--which is an absolute dealbreaker for me. I've been taken advantage of and used much more often by the older people in the community, and most of them have very unrealistic expectations for what they want in a dynamic, or are not prepared to compromise to achieve something mutually beneficial. The trend I'm commenting on has persisted across my interactions with people in the community regardless of age, and it is extremely frustrating to invest time and energy into what seems like it might turn out to be something beautiful, only to be treated like an afterthought. I know abdl is a hard pass for a lot of people, which is why I mention it up front, so that people who aren't interested know we may not be compatible. However I would appreciate you not speculating on my interactions with other people as we don't know each other and it seems a bit disingenuous to say "no judgment" and then proceed to judge me after stalking my profile for ammunition. Just because they're following me doesn't mean we are actively talking, especially given the fact that I am monogamous and only give that kind of attention to one person at a time. If there's anything that I've learned from being in this community, it's that age and maturity are not mutually exclusive. I've met people in their 30s who were unemployed (by choice) and still lived at home, and people who were 25 and owned their own businesses. Trauma and other experiences cause people to mature at different rates, something that is represented disproportionately in this community and is the driving force behind seeking this kind of relationship for a lot of people.

Hmmm... favorite stuffie ever that's tough! I had one I loved as a kid, but it has sad memories, so I'll pick something from now... but what to pick??? 🤔🤔🤔 Well... There's Care Bear coz she's sweet and smallish and I sleep with her. There's Mamma Foxy... my Giant Squishmallow Fox that is half the size of me and I also sleep with her. There's my weighted Puppy, Sandy, who is super cozy and in my bed, too. And last, Baby Foxy who goes with me everywhere, is a smaller fox stuffie. She even fits inside my sweatshirt or coat if I'm scared. So how to pick just one? It's a big problem! 🤭
