What does little space feel like to you?

What does little space feel like to you guys? Idk if it's supposed to feel "different" from big space or not. I haven't really been in this community long enough to know if there is a difference or not. Please reply with your experiences or feelings so I can know!

For me, little space is different than adult world.  When I'm in little space, I feel like a child (literally).  I can go into little space anytime during the day (I do have control over myself though and I'm not running around in public acting like a three year old, lol).  For example, if I go to a store and see a cute stuffy, little me is like waaaaants!  I'm still an adult standing in the store and my outer mannerisms don't change, but it's a different head-space.  Grown up me handles business.....goes to work, pays bills, shops, etc.  Little me just gets to be little and color, take bubble baths, etc.  If I'm at home and I grab my blankie and Rainbow Kitty and put on a Disney movie, little me is happy.  I can't be outwardly little (like wear a onesie around or have my paci in the living room) at my house, so I've learned to be more of an inner little.  If I lived alone, or went to a Daddy's house, I would soooo be outwardly little and have a bottle and a sippy cup and onesies, etc. When I had a Daddy, we would text back and forth most days.  I could be little in text and I loved that.  Little me is very chatty. 

 

The thing to remember is everyone is different.  For some people, it's hard to get into little space.  They don't go in and out of it all day long, they have to sort of plan it and have little stuffs around them to feel it.  Neither way is wrong or right.

Basically the same as above. I very rarely can outwardly express it, but my mind is in a different mode. And little slip ups like jumping and baby talking at cute animals and such happen even if the time/place is not appropriate for little space. It’s like my mind has two operating modes. Adult and Little. I can shift between the two (not always voluntarily lol). All my Adult stuff fades away, like a dream space or subspace. I don’t know that this is helping you, but it’s the best I can do lol.

For me little space means completely letting go of all of the stress and worry I have day in and day out. No worrying about student loan payments, my business, all the negative news I see on tv/read online, money, my mental health issues, etc. I'm in the moment enjoying the activity at hand, whether it be a Disney movie, coloring, doing my nails, etc. When I had a Daddy (currently without one right now), it meant that pretty much all the important decisions that I make day to day were out of my hands and in his because I trusted that he knew best for me. In little space I feel secure in my own bubble and able to let go and just be in the moment.

It's so great to read these answers and completely identify with them. Adult me was headed to the pharmacy to pick up medicine and passed a giant stuffy and immediately felt a change in myself...and wanted to pick it up, give it huge hugs and spin in circles!

Baby talking to my doggie, a must! Lately I have been so happy I skip down the hall at work They just think I am silly. But that is about as much as I can get away with.

For me I can feel the change, I momentarily or sometimes longer feel an absence of adult pressure, actually feel like a child and can be in and out all day.

Little space makes me wanna cuddles with my stuffies and watch max and ruby, and me wuvs to jump up and downs on my bed......heehee (shhhhh dont tell my daddy)

Warm and safe. Sleepy. My head feels different, like a good headache. That’s not the right way of explaining it but I dunno how else to explain it. A good heavy-mind feels. Relaxed. Sometimes playful if I’m not sleepy. It’s the only time I want snuggles and wow do I want them. I also get sad and lonely when I’m in little space cause I don’t have anyone to snuggle but that’s for the best.

 

I love junk food in little space. That’s odd compared to the rest of me lol

 

I’ve never been in true little space tho. I am always on guard.

I'm only fully in 'little space' when my Daddy is around.. otherwise I can kind of get excited about things but since that's my nature anyway, it doesn't feel 'little'. Like someone else said on here, it's like a warm, fuzzy and sleepy feeling. I can be energetic and want to play with things all the time and make strange baby noises but I also get kind of sleepy. Not that I want to sleep! Just that I get really sleepily happy... and I just do whatever I want and it never seems to occur to me that it's wrong and I get really shy and want to play with Daddy or just sit on his lap. 

 

It's like a state of safe and relaxed I never get to feel in my day-to-day things ie going to school or doing homework, because I'm quite stressed otherwise. If I'm with people who don't mind it or know me enough, I show my excitement over things (but that doesn't necessarily feel little to me) otherwise I just keep it to myself! I guess it's just a kind of headspace where I forget all the bad things and focus on playing with Daddy and not having to worry about Daddy judging me or if I'm going to get laughed at. It feels like everything is fun and every thing can make you laugh forever too until your tummy hurts.

It feels like my hiding spot except when I feel completely safe, so I open up more when I am in little space. But when I am hiding and don't feel exactly safe I am silent so no one notices me

[LittleKitten13]

I sort of have different types of little space.

There's little space where I don't NEED papa to take care of me (thoughI will never complain if he's there).  Then, I feel more excited, and happy about things.  I hafta touch the stuffie, I hafta eat all the M&Ms, things like that.  When I'm in this type of little space, I'm more likely to mess up words (aminal instead of animal) from the excitement.  I usually just feel...kind of lighter,.

Then, there's sleepy little space.  It's not like being sleepy and being big.  I need soft fuzzy things, and my giraffe and my Flaréfloof, and I am more likely to cry because I'm tired.  Then, I just feel small, and tiny, and like cuddling.  Sometimes when I'm sleepy little, I'm also more clingy, and I need my papa.  I CAN function as sleepy little without papa, but I feel SO much safer when he's there.

Then, there's scared/terrified little space, and I HAVE to have papa or any kind of panic attacks are much worse.  When I'm in scared little space, I feel terrified and like everyone is bigger than me and will hurt me.

Of course, there are some inbetweens for all of these, sort of.  Usually after I've had a panic attack or something, I get really sleepy, and if I'm in little space, I I just need to cuddle papa.

 

I don't know if this made sense or answered your questions, but I hope so!

To me being in little space is difficult, but it makes my anxiety go away and I get happy, but it's embarrassing. When i'm in school, or anywhere for that matter it's hard to control for some reason. Mommy says it's ok, but daddy had no idea how to deal with me anymore. It's uncontrollable cuz idk how to. sometimes I get all winey without realizing it and suddenly want hugs and my pacifier, so i end up sucking on my fingers. The worst part is that is happens in class sometimes. I'm in high school so you can imagine how stupid I would look.

[Guest ♥️ Hayden Babygirl♥️]

For me little space feels very relaxing.

[HugsAndNaps]

whenever i'm in littlespace, which can vary from multiple times a day/whole day to only 2 times a week, i get all super cute and happy and giggly and my voice gets automatically higher. i just feel comfy with myself and everything around me, which is why it's hard to regress when i'm under stress. littlespace, expecially with my boyfriend, feels like something so natural and i most often don't even notice when i'm in little space bc i'm mostly in that mindset but sometimes just don't act like it. also my mood/age varies, littlespace can be me laying alone in my bed with my paci, a ton of plushies and warm milk watching mlp or other cartoons to gaming with my boyfriend but being all cute and just small and free as i feel most comfy around him c:

[prince eefy]

To me it means letting go of all my worries, and just regressing! It means pure happiness and childlike behavior.

Mine is similar.... I have control most of the time and try to have control bc my family doesn't know and I tried to tell my husband once b4 but didn't come out and say it's me and he thinks it's weird and don't understand 🥺 so I try to hide my little side! But I slip when I see things my little loves but no one pays me attention bc they think I just have a silly personality! I also have no control when my anxiety is high.... I'm 5'2 and if I'm around tall people I idiomatic go into little space even my talking changes and I'm super shy and scared as a little...

With littlespace I feel carefree, loving life again, silly, peaceful, and safe. 🥰 It can be both energetic or calming for me.
