hihi~

well, depending on the individual you are talking to, you may or may not want to tell them all about age regression and CGL and all that jazz..
but you can simply explain that you incorporate cute childish things in your life because.. you still enjoy it, as an adult. You don't need to go into the knitty gritty. Just explain that you still like having a youthful personality and adults can like kids toys and movies too. If they don't accept that then it is sort of their problem, but maybe you could try and not be so little around those people.

now, on the other hand if you actually want to tell someone all about this community then i don't have too much advice, because i have never talked to anyone about CGL who already isn't in the community or knows about it.

Thanks Lena your advice is very helpful it's just hard because I recently came out as a little to my family and they weren't quite as understanding as I hoped for

Hiii ! I remember seeing you in a a chat site servers :D

You know sometimes you don't really have to "come out" as a little. If you've always been a little childish, if you still have stuffies around and stuff, people will just think that's part of your personality. Like, you don have to hide it but you don't have to exactly tell either. Just be. Especially with your big age being 30, you don't have to justify yourself to your family. Idk I feel like telling other you're a little only works well if they're already aware that 'littles' are a thing, or say if you're in a loving relationship then you have to tell, otherwise you can say you're a big kid at heart and that'll sound fine for a lot of people. Then again idk I never really told my "family" but my family being only my mom makes it easy because she always knew me as a stuffies/toys/kids movies loving kinda person and doesn't bat an eye when she comes to my place and I'm eating in a princess plate but then again I don't leave the diapers on display either. I feel like this is the right balance of what she does and doesn't see that makes it easier for her to accept me as I am. She doesn't have to know every tiny detail.

I see it almost like, if you come out as gay to your parents they can be okay but if you start telling them the whole hows and where you do it they might not be as comfortable with it.
