  1. @Little Christine, @AwakenEvil, and @tomcddl - thanks for taking the time to respond; you all made some good points. I am sorry for the late response, and also if my use of the word "crazy" offended anyone.
  2. @ValentinesStuff and @Little Christine Good posts. I wonder if - as they say - "everybody's crazy". Not to add a negative connotation to the lifestyle - it was just the best way I could think of to word it. In short, no one is really "normal".
  3. @Little Christine A Keynesian Beauty Contest is a type of thought experiment and theory (I believe created by Keynes) that originated in economics that tries to explain how values of commodities are determined. But I think it has more general applicability to human behavior when it comes to how values, characteristics, etc. are judged qualitatively / quantitatively, and what comprises the "mean perception of mean perception". I hope my explanation helps; I forewent it because I thought there were probably at least some people who were familiar with the term, and others could look it up on Google / Wikipedia. @kaserberang Thanks for sharing your story. It does seem to be a good example of how those close to us are willing to overlook "faults" in us that they'd be less likely to overlook in non-family. @squareduck - at times I wonder the same - that you're not going to change anyone's mind. But you'd have to agree - kaserberang is a counterexample; his brother saw things differently when it was his own family member involved. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying this is the norm; the point of my question was just to see what a person within the lifestyle might think about the average perception of one external to it. I appreciate you guys reading and taking the time to respond. IJ35
  4. I was wondering what people here think the average "vanilla" person thinks of the ABDL lifestyle. To keep it simple - out of ten people who have no prior knowledge of it - how many would you think absolutely oppose (on whatever grounds) the lifestyle? Just a thought...

  5. (To whoever does - thanks for taking the time to read my post). Props to you, BelGeorge, for taking the first big step and realizing it is a problem. I might be on the opposite end of the spectrum for you - I might not make enough time on here for this (relatively) important part of my life, but I won't go into details (or make excuses, which are almost always self-serving.) Lots of good posts above...I think most that suggest setting limits, and exercising willpower thereon are the best. I think if you have the willpower to admit a problem, you have the willpower to implement a solution such as this. In closing, to quote Mr. Miyagi from "The Karate Kid" -- "Whole life have a balance, everything be better".
  6. Anyone try these vs., say recent versions of ABU Simple, BetterDry, and/or Bambino Bianco?
  7. Understand - hopefully I didn't come across as pushing you too much. Even after seven or so years on DD, I'm a bit reluctant to share details about my own experiences, regardless of how anonymous I think I may feel hereon. I think I see what you're saying about the better quality diapers - if you're not going to use them, it seems like a bit of a waste. I suppose it depends on whether one views a diaper as a tool, or as a symbol. But enough about that.
  8. Thanks for taking the time to reply. I see - that is interesting. It almost seems to me like the difference must connect to some kind of specific experience (and I suppose that it need not be a childhood experience at that.) You need not go into detail, but may I ask if it corresponded to a specific event or experience around that time? I'm sure there are plenty of effects that have no cause, but I was curious. To use or not to use appears to be as varied a choice as to AB or to DL (not saying they are mutually exclusive, but some forums hereon do talk about the idea.)
  9. I would like to participate briefly in this discussion. I myself wear without wetting or soiling. We could chalk it up to personal preference and not look any further, but I'm the type of person that looks for explanations for just about everything. I wonder - could one's predilection for either wetting/soiling (or not) possibly tie back to whatever experiences he/she may have had with diapers as a child, and whether or not they were related to toilet training? I know, pretty Freud-ish, but just a theory.
  10. I found the re-post of Bgoalie95 above to be one of the better pieces on the subject. I also found the following on the ABDL reddit, and thought to share here; I think user Baby-Faye-Rose did a very good job describing. •Posted by u/err0rheart2 5 days ago Managing Embarrasment nsfw Do any of you get embarrassed about your little side even around people that are ok with it? My bf knows I'm abdl, and while he's vanilla he does still help me pick out onesies and diapers and stuff, I know he's ok with it but sometimes, randomly when I'm all littled up with my onesie and thick diaper with a paci holding my stuffie I'll get really embarrassed out of nowhere and wind up shutting down. It's like a different version of me looks at me when I'm little and mocks me about it. Does anyone else here experience something similar? 17 comments 93% Upvoted Log in or sign up to leave a commentLog InSign Up Sort by level 1 Baby-Faye-Rose 6 points · 5 days ago I think you may be projecting some expectation of societal norms onto yourself. Like "Ok most people don't do this. Maybe this is just wrong or degenerate in some way. Maybe I shouldn't be doing this. Oh gosh! He's judging me!" Or you may be wondering if deep down, does he REALLY accept this, or does he just tolerate it. Well one thing would be to talk to him about it. Let him know what littlespace does for you, and ask him to be honest about his own feelings about you being in littlespace. If he's helping you pick out diapers and onesies, he's seemingly supportive. So I don't think he's bothered by it or is judging you. And as far as societal norms go, What is "Normal" anyways? Everybody has some quirk that someone else is going to find strange. Human beings are not cookie-cutter creations, and we should never try to be so. We all have fetishes, interests and other proclivities that make us unique. Without them, we are just the same, and "same" is BORING! Just let me tell you this, There is not a damn thing wrong with what you are doing! Wearing diapers is AMAZING! Being able to regress and just let go of the adult stresses and worries and just cuddle up with a nice cushy-tushy and a stuffie while wearing a cute onesie is a rare ability. If more people could learn how to just regress once in a while, this world would be far less stressful and more colorful and cheerful. Just because our bodies age, and our minds become more developed and we learn how to "adult", that does not mean we have to stop playing. pretending, wondering, and it certainly doesn't mean that we have to lose that childish innocence and sense of wonder and freedom that regression and ageplay brings to so many of us. Stay wonderful. Stay happy. Stay you. You are beautiful.
  11. It's been a while since I've tried them (not a fan of the fit of the single-tape design), but I seem to remember the ABU SDK having a landing zone that was much thinner and softer than most at the time. The best I could describe it is it was a sort of matte-like plastic (almost looking like the typical scotch tape - translucent, but certainly not clear.) I'm not sure if they have updated the design since then.
  12. Thanks for taking the time to read and respond. Re: reincarnation -- I think so (I know the word came up numerous times in conversations with my friend, but I can't remember for sure the denominational context). Of the Eastern religions, I think there are some that believe in reincarnation, and some that believe in no afterlife or existence at all after you die - you just "become energy", to put it imprecisely. The idea of "parallel universes" for every situation is an interesting one too. I think in a quantum sense, there's an array of probabilistic causes for every effect, and the observation determines which one "wins out" (or "won out" - even that might be a question - sometimes outcomes can be determined or altered by the very act of observing / measuring.) While I happen to be a person of faith, I completely understand that people out there can make good (and mostly justifiable) claims that I am suffering from an irrational delusion. But the way I see it, if I ensure that my delusion affects no one but me, then I'm not hurting anyone by clinging to it, right?
  13. Thanks for taking the time to reply - I appreciated your response. I didn't know that about Einstein - thanks for sharing. I think what you said about wisdom vs. knowledge was good too. I have a good friend who is also in the hard sciences, but identifies as Buddhist. He was talking a bit about how Buddhism and modern physics appear to be "converging" in a sense, especially when it comes to concepts like karma, and it being little more than cause and effect. We had some good discussions on the subject, because I'd read a little about it (and also took one course on modern physics for my degree...it was difficult for me, and a very big step from classical physics.)
  14. Mostly DL. In the past year or two, I think I've come to appreciate wearing a little more, almost in the direction of AB and what the diapers symbolize. I've come to enjoy the Bellissimo diapers, both for comfort and image. I don't wet or soil, and most of my wearing (up until a year or two ago) has been with the goal of climaxing. But I think the idea of the diaper as a comforting escape of sorts is growing on me. Am still having difficulty sleeping in them, as they still are a source of stimulation, but I'm still working through that. There were some other good message boards about this subject, e.g., sleeping chaste while wearing.
  15. I read this, and thought since recently "re-joining" the site from time to time I felt the same. But I also have had to admit to myself that over my period of inactivity (the past six or so years), the crowd may have changed and those with whom I interacted may not be around any more. This, coupled with the fact that I'm only on DD a small handful of times per month, and I can't really blame most people for being hesitant to interact. You seem like the kind of person who is able to get along with most anyone; fill a room with folks having the same personality as you, and I'm sure any new person - introvert or extrovert - who tried to join the room would be made to feel welcome. I have a feeling though that most people who identify as ABDL are more type-B personalities, and thus hesitant to interact with folks without having a chance to warm up to them. Just my $0.02 - hope things are going better for you.
