How your baby side affects your adult side?

[Pelusban]

This question is to those who play both. If you are, let's say hardcore baby at home but you go to work, grocery shopping, meetings etc. outside as an adult, your baby side how changed your other side? Like how you think, talk to people, work, behave, what you eat, drink, what movies you find interesting etc. Can you always keep the character?

I'm both an adult and a little but recognize there are times and places for each. I don't have to "keep character" because both sides are part of who I am versus some kind if play or act. Has it changed how I interact with folks, nope. When I'm with adults I'm an adult. When I'm with my Daddy or little friends in private then I may or may not be little. Both sides are always with me but are only expressed when appropriate to the social situation, surroundings and other people who are around.

People know I can be a bit childish at times.   They just don't know how far the rabbit hole goes LMAO

I am very protective of my little side though.   I didn't even start participating in ABDL communities until my mid-30s (even though I've been hanging on the fringe since, uh, before I should have been on the fringe heh).

I think that I still have a childish wonder of the world even though I am 74!. I have always been able to ‘adult’ when needed, indeed I think my childishness has helped me in my creative work and has given me freedom of thought untainted by many adult norms. I watch my older friends being very serious and want to say to them “jump into that puddle, or put on a cartoon t-shirt and let yourself go a bit,  buy yourself a toy or a stuffie (actually I read that 65% of adults still have stuffed animals hidden in their bedrooms!).

Well, I alwys treated girls like persons because I found that some of the things done to them, like, in school, making a boy sit with the girls as punishment, because they offended the "girl part" of me. It also conflicted with the fact that, at age 4, I observed what boys grew up to be and what girls grew up to be and when grown, they went around in pairs; one of each. So how could that be done if they were at odds with each?

Look at grown men in the presence of cars, planes, guns or other complex mechanical things and tell me that this is not a little boy with a new toy: And just itching to toake it apart to see what it does. Observe women discussion personality matters. Men and women do Psychology very differently. These are manifestations of the "little": As the twig is bent, so the tree will grow. or the Jeuits' famous "Give me a child for the first 7 year. After than, you may do what you want with him"

I totally agree. Think about the smiley or angry face on any car designs. These things are socially accepted and industries depend on them, but probably only women can get away with openly childish behavior or dressing. And I see a lot of old people tend to be more childish than the middle aged. I think they just don't afraid anymore.

Well for me, being an adult baby and especially a full time permanent adult baby, I can play both the adult side and adult baby side. I know being an adult baby and especially a full time permanent adult baby, I know whenever I am with adults, grown-ups and big kids, I am an adult to them despite knowing I am an adult baby. They treat me like and adult but some know I wear diapers, dress, act and behave like an adult baby. Many adults, grown-ups and big kids that know me, know I am an adult baby and they often treat me like an adult baby than an adult, grown-up or big kid. The people around me know I am an adult baby and they always treat me as an adult baby. Which is why being an adult baby, I can get away with dressing childish such as wearing my diaper and t-shirt onesie out in the open and around people. I've even been able dress like an adult baby around people and many people have accepted it.

That's like me as well, I still I am childish in an adult baby/toddler body. I still can be an adult when I need to but many times revert back to the childish adult baby in me. I think being an adult baby/toddler has allowed me the freedom to act childish, dress more like an adult baby and be very creative. It's why being an adult baby and especially a full time permanent adult baby, it has allowed me to shed many adult norms that I see in society and behave more like an adult baby/toddler. Which is why I find myself more like an adult baby/toddler than an adult, grown-up and big kid. Which is fine by me because I am not a huge fan of adulthood and being an adult because it's so stressful for me.

Oh; I do not know if that part about women is true, but they do have higher voices. If you watch FORGOTTEN WEAPONS, when Ian is showing a full auto gun, He invariably ends with a full mag dump. That is definitely the 9 year old boy running amok. Carnegie Collection made a bundle on semi-scale dino models: Any 8 year olds not present? and just look at the number of YT channels dedicated to fighter planes. Also, if you notice, fighters get a disproportionate amount of the press compared to what fraction of the total aircraft they amount to. Ditto medieval weapons channels. Swords HAVE to be one of the most discussed things on YouTube; waayyy out of proportion to their actual usefulness. Ya Think? and drop some boys' toys from bygone days in front of a bunch of 35-65 year old guys and just stand back and watch. And it will be the WOMEN who comment on how childish they are

Yes, and "A dragon lives forever, but not so little boys / Painted wings and giant's rings make way for other toys" - it's a change for good, childish thinking is one of the biggest engines in the development of humanity (just ask any Nobel prize winner) and childhood playing prepares the adulthood playing.

Fun fact, there was a Hungarian adaptation of this song - "Paff, a bűvös sárkány", it was a popular children's song back then here.
