Slipped in front of someone who doesn’t know I’m a little

[Littleajprincess]

So I slipped into my little space a little in front of some of my family and they don’t know I’m a little or even what a little is so they started to look at me as a weirdo and I don’t know how to explain it to them to help the situation and tips that can help pweaseeeeeee

I have done this 😅. My mom was iffy about it and couldn't understand. I have the best mother in the world and she loves me, so she asked many questions. I would ask her what she didn't understand or was confused about, and we would sit down and have adult conversations about it. I made sure to give her processing time and to try to explain what being little/middle felt like and offered for my life. My momma held space for me and now fully understands what DDLG is for me and explains it to others for me. She sticks up for me.

You have a wonderful mom my mom doesn’t get it so I can’t really do it around her but my siblings just ask questions it took a while but I think they get it

Sounds like perhaps it's best to just let it go. Are they asking for an explanation or do you want to give one as these are two different things. If they just looked at you weird then maybe just accept it and move on, no harm, no foul.

It just feels uncomfortable when they come around they always side eye me like they have questions but don’t want to ask and I don’t know how to start that type of conversation

It isn't on you to start that conversation. If they want to know then they can ask. If they don't ask then I would suggest it highly likely they don't want to know.

I think your right if they want to know they could ask I won’t push it
