I came up with this post after reading Getting into headspace/little viewtopic.php?p=53549#p53549
It personally helped me a lot resee my own littlespace. But, it made me question why had I thought differently before?
So I had always viewed Littlespace as a state of being little that you would just magically feel all cute and little and what not. That it was like a switch.
For me I believe this comes from tumblr and reading stories and seeing it from the outside yah know? It's so easy to see a youtuber or tumblr user talk about their little side as a different person you know? And it made me personally feel like I wasn't doing it right? Or like I wasn't fully little because I struggle to feel that same way.
Then you have stories and they treat it purely like it's a switch, that a little will always just suddenly be acting like an adult and then boom they are acting perfectly like their little age with no issue or trace of their adult side. But, that's not how it works for most people.
You're still an adult and those adult thoughts will still be there. You're not going to be able to turn it off perfectly. You can distract yourself focus on the childish part of you. I realize now that by seeing other people's littlespaces and reading stories that I've idealized the concept of headspace. But, I have realized that it's different because what really is likely happening is the little is being guided into that sense by their caregiver. And stories where they can just boom turn into a switch. Maybe someone out there has it like that, but not everyone. There isn't anything wrong with my littlespace that I don't get that way.
I understand now that I need to focus on that part and give up the idea that I'm going to magically just fall into this "little headspace" where I feel 100% like a toddler or baby or whatever. Rather focus on things I can do to bring that childish part of me out and enjoy it even if the icky adult side is bothering me!
I would love to know your guys thoughts did you have this issue? Also thank you @AzureAndVanilla and @admin
