I feel like I can never fully regress because I'm always 100% of the time around my family or other people. Like I can prolly count on one hand the number of times I've been fully regressed without having to control how little I'm being.. I'm not explaining it well but it's really crummy and I just wanna be little and enjoy doing little things and just... Blah jsjflslahfiendn

hey anonnie, i feel ya! 😖 i’m in a similar situation. i think many of us are! even people who don’t live with their families/have roommates that don’t know about their regression have responsibilities like work, school, etc. that take up their time… 

it does kind of stink, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still enjoy yourself and have fun being little in the moments you do get! 

to me, being little is more than just having all the stuff, like sippy cups, pacifiers, bottles, coloring books, plushies, etc. of course, there are still times when we want all that stuff and it’s frustrating that you can’t just have it all out all the time or enjoy it the way you want… but, here’s just some quick advice~ 

go out, and look at the world with brighter eyes! see the good in everything. say hello to the sun when you wake up in the morning, say goodnight to the moon when you go to bed. hum songs you like. kick your feet when you sit in a chair. when you go outside, play pretend and have adventures (i have a different one every day when i walk around the city, to school, to dance, or to work~) if you’re at school, bring cute stickers and pretty colored markers to cover your stationary with. skipping is a fun thing to do and it always makes me happy. giggle at silly things. wear oversized things that’ll make you feel smaller in this big big world. 

do not be afraid to allow yourself more occasions to be child-like. adults are allowed to be child-like, too. 

there is more to regression than you would think! you just have to look for it... hehe~ 💝

Do you have any tips for what to do when you regress during school?

don’t bottle it up is my best advice! 💓 i don’t really mind getting a bit more giggly, using more stickers, doodling more, etc. during school, just as long as i’m still focused on my subject! if i regress, i have to allow myself to have that or else i’ll just be focusing on resisting the regression, instead of actually getting my work done properly… does that make sense? so i let it out in little bursts! 😊

i suggest kicking your feet when sitting in a chair, doodling, and thinking about school subjects in a funny, child-like way… honestly, my geometry teacher smiles when i call angles “alligator mouths” or clap my hands when i do something right, so i really don’t think anyone at your school would mind haha~ it’s none of their business if you are a bit child-like! there’s nothing wrong with that! adults are allowed to have that, too! ❤️

of course, everyone’s comfort levels are different. if you feel you would be judged, then resisting it may be the best thing in your experience! in that case, if you need to stop yourself from regressing… i just sort of ignore it and focus super hard on my responsibilities or listen to music that makes me feel big. i don’t know if that works for everybody, so you’ll have to see… 

obviously, some “do nots” would be no baby talk out loud and no bringing sippy cups/bottles/pacis/big stuffies to school… but you know that i’m sure ^_^

I feel like my mommy's ignoring me and I don't know what I did wrong... She's not replying to me, but she's looking at my posts and hitting the ♡... I'm crying I don't know what I did....

it probably isn’t you, sweetie pie! 💖

sometimes, caregivers need time for themselves. your mommy might be going through something that needs her full attention — remember, self-care is important for everyone! maybe she isn’t in a place to be world’s best mommy right now and she’s backing off on the responsibility for that reason. i’m sure she’ll come back around. 

however, communication is key! she should discuss with you if she needs that time to herself so you can understand. don’t be afraid to ask her! ⭐️ just say, “hey, i’ve noticed we’ve been talking a little less! is everything okay with you? is there anything i can do to help you get through it? if you need time away from caregiving, i understand, but i’m worried!” or something like that 😊

don’t cry, honey bear, i’m sure everything will turn out just fine 🌷

I is weally sad now I don't know what's to do I was recently diagnosed with degenerative disc disease and now doctor said I has sciatica I hurts all the times I try doing exercises doctor said but it's weally hard and when my Daddy sees me in pain he hurts his heart cuz he can't fix me.... what can I do or say to my Daddy to makes him realize he's my world and nots to feel bads cuz he can't takes away the pain

oh sweetheart, i am so sorry that has happened. but you are strong, so i know you can get through this! 💞🌼🍃 firstly — and not very funly — i think it’s odd for your doctor to recommend exercises so readily for this kind of condition! in my experience, too much exercise can make degeneration faster, since your brain and nervous system is basically sending incorrect signals that cause your immune system to do bad things to your body! 🙊 if the exercise hurts, i would say slow up on it... sciatica pain is actually better managed with stretches! 

💘 as for helping your daddy see that he is amazing, i find that the best thing i’ve said to my family and partners in situations like this is “the only reason i’m so strong right now is because you’re doing everything you can possibly do for me, and that’s enough. i just need your love and happy moments with you to feel better.” you can say anything you want, really! just show that you are thankful and tell him every day how much you love him! 😊 he will feel it soon. until then, i prescribe both of you daily cuddles and laughter! 💓

feel better sweet pea~ 🌷🌷🌷

So my daddy goes to college out of state and so we only get to see each other every other weekend. I facetime him every single day because I miss him so much but...... my friend just told me that its bad because it ruins my availability because I want to talk to him a lot because I miss him being here :(

oh honey… i’m sorry! i know how hard it is to miss people once you are used to them being there next to you. you’ll just have to detach a bit from him, that’s all! focus instead on self-care activities and being little by yourself throughout the day~ 💓 having personal hobbies really helps with this. but, don’t forget to message him telling him to work hard at school and how much you love him every day!

keep him close in your heart — that is, after all, more important than any distance between you!

I got into my dream school but my only friend in it is a homophobe and I had to take the picture of my girlfriend off my background :( I'm a sad bear I just wanna love my angel in peace why are people like this ;^;

oh, i’m so happy you got into your dream school!!!! that sounds amazing!! congrats!

personally, if you are part of fhe LGBT+ community i think you should not be friends with a homophobe, better to have no friends than toxic friends. please distance yourself from them!

homophobes are nasty 😷😝😝 you shouldn’t have to live like this, feel free to put your girlfriend on your background if you want! try to make more friends, sweets, involve yourself in school activities, talk to your classmates, etc! good luck, please tell us how it goes!

Hi I'm a bit confused as to whether or not I count as a little. You see I like "little" items and I want to have someone like a caregiver but I don't age regress so I just don't know.

for sure you count! if you enjoy it and it makes you feel comfortable, that’s all that matters. 

personally, i don’t regress all the time because i don’t always HAVE the time or freedom to do so… i don’t get a lot of down time to be allowed to fully regress and let myself live in that mindset like that, i have to interact with people who don’t know about this part of me and work and things like that 💔 but i still come home at the end of the day and pull out my coloring books, watch cartoons, cuddle my plushies, and fill up my sippy cup, because it relaxes me and makes me happy!

let yourself be little if you like, sweet pea~ don’t worry about what other people think or if you are “valid” or anything like that 💫

#weight mention tw: i'm afraid i'll never have a daddy because no one i know is comfortable with it... and i'm really fat (309 lbs), and i feel like i'm too ugly to be a little OR get a daddy...

sweetie pie, no! you’re beautiful and perfect at your weight, as long as you are healthy you are not any less gorgeous or any less of a little ❤ and, any daddy who doesn’t want you because of your weight is silly and superficial and can personally come fight me. you’re perfect, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise!! 💛💛💛
