How do I know how to little?

[Cosma]

So obviously new to this Little life. Finding out recently I’m a little. I don’t know though what kind tho Ik I’m 10-18 age range with a brat partial complex. How do you find that Little place people talk about? How do you find out who you are or personality in littlespace?

First give yourself permission to explore without self judgment. Often one of the biggest barriers to exploring your little or middle space are the barriers we place on ourselves.

Second, try different things. See what you enjoy, don't enjoy and are neutral about. 

There is no single way to find your little or middlespacw, it really is a process of exploration. It also isn't necessarily going to be something immediate or that will be static, it may change over time.

I agree with Little kaiya, give yourself permission to feel whatever you’re feeling and explore that. It’s different for every little and middle what that space looks like to them. 
Finding out what you like and don’t like (and as mentioned above are neutral on) should be a fun or at least stress free process. Trying progressively littler things can be a good way to determine a line. Like you may find you enjoy teenage toys, but aren’t into binkies and pacifiers. Or vice versa.
For me, my little space is my safe haven, so it depends on what mood I’m in when I get into little space, what I do. If I’m happy, I gravitate to lots of fun activities. 
Also, there’s stuff I found I didn’t like through talking through with other littles online and stuff. I hope you enjoy getting into it and finding out more about yourself and what your little/middle space looks like!

Hi Cosma!    Welcome to the forum and to littlespace!

I'm an older little, what's often called a middle, and I just love it.  When I first found DDlg I tried a bunch of activities that I saw were most popular in the community - colouring, cartoons, toys, stuffies, a binky.  Over time I found what worked for me and learnt more about what I liked.  Turns out that was things associated with a middle.  I love being in an older headspace enjoying things like painting my nails, fashion magazines, 90s music, young adult books, video games, crafts like seed beads and friendship bracelets and so much more.

It really is a case of trying different things and seeing what you enjoy.  I like what Aikko said about trying little things too.  When I'm feeling sad I like to be little, grab a stuffie and watch a comfort movie.  It feels safe and cosy for me.

There's some great videos on youtube you can look at too that might help.  You might feel a pull towards something you want to try.

Oh, and chatting with other littles is also a good idea.    I love my little/middle friends and they bring out that side in me.

I’m an artist so crafts come easily to me, I love stuffies . I tend to go into little space middle as a defense mechanism in social situations and this is a small part of how I found out I was a little. My friend talked me through it and she is my temp mistress/daddy for my safety in finding myself.

Let me rephrase she is my best friend and we are platonic and she acts as a caregiver ima way when we are together hanging out or in geoups
