Educating about ABDL

[DommyMommyScarlet]

I have another curious thought. How many of you have been able to tell others about ABDL without having it turn out badly? Not only significant others but maybe friends or family members. You don't have to be specific of course but just an idea. Thanks
To answer my own question, I have told about 3 people who had never had experience with it that the opening up to them went well. They were all close friends.

I have only been able to tell one person about my diaper fetish, and she accepts it.
I consider myself extremely lucky.

I have told hmm let me see.. 9 people that i know in real life and plenty more via the net.. with varying responses. Some of the people who i have told, I made sure I was well prepared and tried to gauge their responses to little hints before hand. Others I just told as a sudden spurr of the moment thing.

On the whole I have been pretty lucky. I cant say that everything has been smooth sailing but no one has set out to destroy my life as far as i know. Some have been very accepting of it. My ex-girlfriend was so caught up in the idea she made me a number of things. Another girl I told wanted to go out and buy me some diapers. One girl I told as a sudden spurr of the moment thing on a one night stand I have never spoken to again... I dont know why i told her, i think i may have been lonely and just wanting to reach out, and made a rash decision.

I have told three males. One a gay guy who used to chat to me about porn sex and everything else.. by the time I told him about my fetish I knew so many of his it didnt matter. Another was a close friend i knew I could trust- he was studying his phd in psychology and looked at it from a clinical point of view. And lastly was a mate who was chatting to me when i had a very bad day and i just blabbed it out to him. Naturally he had a good laugh at my expense but has as far as i know respected my privacy and not told anyone.

So there you go.. a mixed bag of results. I would recommend to those who are wondering what to do .. whether or not they should tell some one.. to be very sure about revealing their secret. Once in the open you cant take it back. If I was to return to those moments again. i think i would have only told maybe 3 out of nine of those people. As I said- I have been very lucky.

Glen, I'd say overall you have had pretty good results with telling people. I'm pretty open about it myself. But I have always been that way. I have always had the attitude that I am gonna do what I want and I dont care what you think. People are pretty used to that from me. So even if they wanted to say something negative, I doubt they would without thinking twice. I have told several people outright and others have found out just from passing conversation. I dont talk about it alot. I know most people dont really understand and proably dont care to hear about it. But the more intelligent and empathetic people in my life, I do try to educate about infantilism. More people need to be exposed to it and to learn about. So many ab/dl lifestylers I talk to are saddened and feel ostracized. I would like to see it brought more into the mainstream. I know I am dreaming but it doesn't stop me from trying.

I have told a few of friends with mixed results. One has hardly talked to me since. The others just were like "ok", but they never really want to discuss it. Those are my old friends from back home. All my frinds where I live now are basically from one fetish scene or another so they are all kool. I met them all through my mommy. But my other frineds don't really get it. One has been asking me about more lately. Hmmm, come to think of it, she has seemed a little interested. I thought she was just being nice. Maybe I can recruit a new mommy to the phoneamommy family! heehee

Thank you everyone for responding. It seems over all it has been a mixed result.

I have just started to actually live it out, and honestly, i'm terrified about telling anyone outside of this group. So for now i'll just keep it here and in the chatroom and in my calls to the mommies.
