How did you figure out your “little age/age range?” (DD/lg and ABDL!)

[Train]

I’m about five months into knowing I’m a little, and I started out acting within the 4-5yo range. But more recently I’ve noticed some behaviors that remind me of being as young as 1-2! I still use the potty like an adult no matter what age I feel, and I don’t really have an opinion on diapers except that for right now I’d probably be a little embarrassed to wear one (not that it’s wrong! That’s just how *I* feel!)

 

I asked my Daddy how he’d feel about if I was a really little little, and he was super accepting But... I think I just need to try some things to figure out if I’m more naturally a bit younger, or if I just fluctuate within the 1-5yo range!

 

How did you all figure out your age or age range? Any ABDLs who can share their experiences? How about other “young” littles?

I kinda just fluctuate depending on the day, sometimes I'm really really little and sometimes I'm even big enough to try to take care of Daddy in while in littlespace. But I guess 2-5 just feels the most comfortable to me, but there are some things that I'm gonna do adult-like no matter how little I feel because that's just kinda what I've been programmed into doing.

I estimate myself between about 5-7 ish because that's when I started school and became aware of the world beyond myself. I got teased and made fun of a lot in those early years because I was different and didn't understand the games kids played (In high school I found out I have mild ASD which explained a lot). Because of this teasing and other experiences (i.e. a teacher assistant in 1st grade told me holding hands with another girl was bad) I started not expressing who I really am out of fear of disapproval. I always somewhat failed at completely fitting in though. However in college I got a single room and felt comfortable little by little being myself where no one could see me, and eventually gained confidence again and don't try to hide so hard today.

 

Long story, but I'm 5-7 because that's when I was still innocently myself. I also have some middle-ish tendencies like preferring Eyewitness and National Geographic to little cartoons and my capability to handle knives and ovens when making food, and my big sister impulse around those younger or shyer than me.

My Little-Age or say it is more a Middle-Age ; is around 11 to 16

I am more the type of a little princess that wants to be adult - but still a child at some point ?

I love dressing up dolls and wear cute clothes too - and sometimes i feel i am still in puberty

I dont feel like i need pacis or diapers at all. And never had.

So thats why i feel and think i am more of a Middle almost Young-Teen when in Little-Space

And i feel good in it.

For me it’s a bit sad, really.. Three years old is the last time I recall feeling safe and my mind has gotten stuck there to a degree.. Because I have a lot of psychiatric problems and other stuff I find that coping with the adult world is problematic and when Daddy and I met he found himself parenting an adult toddler with special needs and a special needs child.. I told him I think like a three year old and it’s become our thing.. Also useful too because I use it as a way to help him with abstract thinking and problem solving, long term planning etc..

I actually did a little research! I trued to figure out which age range seemed to fit me better. I knew that diapers was not really my thing and that I liked to “little talk” instead of baby talk. However I also knew that I liked pacis! So I just found an age range that had everything I was looking for and fit in! It took a bit of time but I think that it is good to know your little space first before saying the age! That way you can really know where you place!

For me, it's kind of weird to describe in great detail, but the short and sweet version of it is that due to traumas and other things in my past, I just kind of.... know??? that there's a very specific age that I regress to.

 

It's a bit similar to BabyDaisy81's responce, actually, where my mind just kinda got... stuck.... at this one specific age.

my range is 5-7, and i think it really helped when daddy asked me how old i was. he said, are you 12? (more of a middle), and i immediately shrunk back, because i didn't feel that was accurate... and then after being asked a few times, i was able to tell him, that i feel im 5.. and my actions correspond to it. I have so many emotional rollercoasters, but daddy is really sweet and loving!

I haven't been looking very long and am still figuring things out, but I'm pretty sure I'm usually 3-4 years old! My gauge is sort of based of how verbal I am, and how much I pay attention to my own basic needs. The younger I am, the less I talk and the longer it takes me to react to things like having to use the bathroom, or that I haven't eaten yet that day.

Very rarely I feel like I go even younger, which once resulted in a shameful shower and having to sneak a package of goodnites into the house just as a precaution lol.

When I first joined this forum four years ago, I was still very much uninformed in regards to age regression and the differences. 

The detailed posts by Prat pretty much gave me a well informed response as to the differences, behaviour styles and mannerisms for each age and began to cross out ages I knew I wasn't suited for. I've fluctuated between ages but I now know which age range I am more suited for.

I personally haven't found my little age, and I haven't tried really hard to find one because I don't feel it's necessary for myself. I just do my own thing that I'm comfortable with and don't focus on finding or fitting an age.
