@The-Big-G said in Depression and Size Kink:
Dose a day go by that I wouldn’t give up everything to spend five minutes with a tiny woman even if we just chatted as I admired her
“Chatting as I admired her” 
yes, this, exactly this. I think I used these same words a few times. Is it too much to ask? 
And thanks, it’s always nice to know I’m not alone.
@skysayl Invent shrink rays, solve world hunger (and thirst) 
@i-am-insane Lots of interesting things to ponder. You know, maybe I make it sound like it’s purely sexual thing - it’s really not. Most of what I wrote would still apply in a platonic relationship (side note - sorry if the nuances of aromantics/asexuals are lost on me, I need to read more on the topic!). There are so many reasons I love this fantasy that involves no sex at all.
As for the therapist, I’m comfortable enough but I haven’t had much experience to judge. I’m just not a people’s person, so if I feel at ease with her after a few sessions, for me it’s a very positive sign. I hope so.
@littlest-lily funny because Ludivine is almost MY age too, hehe. I couldn’t un-see her steamy scenes and prevent my brain from mixing them with her Tink-sized 
@Miri I know it’s going to take some time, I’ve no illusions. I never talked about this fantasy to anyone in real life, so even that first step is part of the process, getting over my self-consciousness and shame. I’m always jealous of how some people in the community can be so open about it.
Takes me a while to open up, even in such a safe space. Wish me good luck for the next session.
@skysayl The 2003 live-action version had Ludivine Sagnier as Tinkerbell. You have no idea how that messed with my brain. I had seen her other movie, Ozon’s excellent Gouttes d’eau sur pierres brûlantes before that.
I love French SW (not nearly enough out there). So let’s just say I had conflicting images in my mind when watching tiny Ludivine. 
@i-am-insane said in Depression and Size Kink:
The relationship itself has a sort of expectation, even if it’s unstated, that at some point you will talk about this kind of thing, to be open and honest.
What you wrote is so very true, and yet that’s something I still struggle with. I have a hard time opening up and trusting, I always focus on the negative outcomes of any situations, and it’s very hard for me to allow myself to be vulnerable with someone. Admitting this kink is then basically impossible.
A long road ahead for me.
@tiny-ivy I figured I couldn’t be the only one, given the impossible nature of our kink, so much happens in our minds - it’s possible we cope and develop our imaginations beyond the average
I hadn’t thought of the synaesthesia angle! That’s actually a very intereting theory, if there was some serious science done on the subject, I’d volunteer my time right away (same for microphilia, which is way overdue to be studied imho)
Can I ask if you ever get phantom feelings? Like, if you just imagined touching something, it lingers on for a while? I can’t explain it better than as if there’s a “delay” in the response to switch from fiction to reality. Ties back to sensory overload and synaesthesia, I guess?!
Also, did you ever have night terrors or sleep paralysis? Just trying to see if there are more common links…
@SmolChlo For real it’s so much fun 
Make us biggos work a bit for our reward hehe
I am once again asking you to join me in VR shenanigans, Chloe. Altough sadly the sound and vibration are lacking (VRC wasn’t programmed with G/t in mind, something I’m hoping to address one day 
)
@littlest-lily I think I got a ping from the SizeCon Discord server but only a few days ago.
I can’t attend (I’m adulting hard this weekend) and it’s a shame, the topic list seems so interesting. 
@SmolChlo I can’t talk from the SW’s perspective but from my side of things it’s almost like a dream come true, at least that’s very close to some things I imagined for years. Seeing it in VR is mind-blowing the first time, and still is honestly.
If you look at static pictures it probably won’t help you get a feel of how cool it can be, but I know you can also play on desktop in good old 2D to get a preview of what it looks like.
From the SW’s perspective, I can’t help you… I can’t stand being small, not even in VR. 
You could ask around? Ping @littlest-lily or @skysayl , which I had to pleasure to grab and hold a few times, hehe.
For me, Real Life sucks for size interactions. Thank the Maker for the Internet, otherwise…
Being 5’8" means never getting comments on my height, I’m just average as average can be.
Being shy means never saying comments on girl’s height either, even in a completely non-creepy context. Well I did tease my short girlfriends a lot but never got any reactions beside slight annoyance.
So yeah, childhood games notwithstanding, I can’t say I’ve ever had the chance to experience even the lamest, normiest of IRL sizey interactions. 
@SmolChlo “Club Penguin” lol now that is a name I haven’t heard in a loooong time.
To further answer your question, some people like to use furry avatars, others like semi-human beasts, some like plain old humanoid avatars. Custom avi are a lot of work but I’ve seen incredibly talented people create stuff like dragonborns or almost actual dragons, giant snakes, etc. No limits really. I chose to get a plain looking avatar but I’m thinking of getting a good looking one commissioned at some point.
There are rooms which are purely for hanging out, chat, listen to music, watching videos/movies, etc. There are some worlds with fun little quests/puzzles and interactions. Outside of VRChat there are also other virtual worlds but none as popular right now. Also since VRC added avatar scaling (ie. shrinking/growing) it has become very easy to create sizey worlds with that in mind. They added stuff like collision so that we can hold tinies without them “falling” through giant hands or bodies. They added climbing too, so that tinies can “explore” giants. Oh and while the soundscape isn’t exploited to all its sizey potential IMHO, the spatial 3D audio is delightful… having a SW moving around my head from one shoulder to the other sent ASMR-like tingles to my brain 
The only thing is that in VRC, the most advanced worlds (those with proper physics) require the use of a PC. The PC will use its GPU and CPU to render the world, basically streaming the info to your headset. Otherwise you can still access some sizey worlds in “standalone” / Quest mode (ie. with the headset alone), but it’s a bit more limited.
Alsoooo, I’ve heard it can be quite jarring at first to be picked up when tiny, hehe… I’ve literaly heard (‘squeeeee’) it, I mean 
@The-Big-G Yeah I’m not looking to date under 30, but what I meant in my comment was the general mindset on kinks of my (our) generation.
From what I’ve seen, 40+ people aren’t as open-minded on topics such as kinks and sexual diversity compared to the younger generation.
