Things you learned about yourself as a little that you didn't know before.

[Guest SenpaiPleaseNoticeMe]

Just a friendly thread for everyone to share what they learned about themselves when they got in touch with their little self.

 

For me, I learned I love and need a lot of attention. I only really go into little space when "baby" talked to. Little me is a balance to the big me!

That I'm not as independent as I would like to think and that I actually need attention

[Guest Looby-Lou]

Interesting question 

I realised that I love being little! That I could celebrate being child-like, instead of worrying that I was child-ish.

That I need a lot of affection and attention or I get really angsty. (and I'm not as un-clingy as I once thought)

 

I also learnt that acting 'childish' for me before was probably actually an outlet for my stress and a part of who I am.. which is now why I know when I need to be little now.

this exactly is me

Before realizing I was a little, I looked down on the parts of myself that held on to naivete, chasing dreams, idealism, and getting lost in fantasy. 

 

Now, I can embrace and celebrate those childlike aspects of myself. So I guess I learned that those qualities aren't bad or maladaptive! And having someone to protect me from the world taking that away is a comforting feeling.

this might get sort of somber rather quickly, but being small has taught me that it's okay to have a second chance at child-like happiness. 

 

i didn't really get to indulge in my interests as a child for a variety of reasons. 

i wasn't pushed into science like i wanted to be -- my parents wanted me to sing & act instead. 

i loved doing it, but i never got to explore space or nature or science in the ways that my little heart wanted to.

 

similarly, i really love reading, but my desire to be a good student to appease my parents didn't afford for much reading for pleasure time.

now, when i'm feeling small, i can read like it's a homework assignment -- i have "silent reading" before bed every night! 

 

i have learned to enjoy the little things, pursue what makes me happy & just enjoy being myself!

As others mentioned, I too learned to be 'independent' & 'controlling' growing up. I was good at it but something felt wrong -- in time I worked out my need to let-go and be dependent on a (controlling) man. I can't 'relax' or feel properly feminine without it. I explored being traditionally 'feminine' & 'submissive' before I worked out I am little.

 

Being little showed me that 'innocence' is a value of mine. I love being an innocent "good girl" for my Daddy. I like seeing with 'child's eyes', never losing wonder and exuberance for life. I like relaxing and being playful secure that Daddy will make decisions, handle anything or tell me anything I need to know. I can just 'trust' and remain innocent behind Daddy in a world that doesn't align very well with my sensitivity. "The sweet innocence of youth"

I learned that it’s okay to embrace my girly side. All my friends growing up, and even now, were all guys so I acted and dressed like them. Being a little nurtured my feminine side and made me realize how much I love to look cute and wear pretty things and not be afraid to show my girlyness.

I like being a little I get a lot of cuddles and I get loved a lot. being a little is an amazing thing to try and to do

[Guest littleredrider]

Honestly, I learned there's a lot I didn't get to enjoy and express in my own childhood. My parents made me grow up too fast and I never really felt nurtured by them. Being little helps me feel a vulnerability I feel like I missed out on.

I used to really dislike pink....Since becoming a little its the color I love the most.

i like to think im somewhat independent in big space. being in little space made me realize im not. in little space i require lots and lots of attention (more than i usually do) and im very dependent in little space. an it lets me act like.. a real child. cause when i was growing up i dont really think i had the best childhood. in my opinion.

Being in littlespace made me realize just how much insecurity I was keeping bottled up. I'm working on incorporating it as a healthy way to deal with those things ^-^
