hmm for agere people/kidfurs/etc. I'm curious where you draw the line between littles and middles? I figured 8 years old would be pretty firmly little but I see other people identifying as middles while being like 7-8

i see little as like 5-6, middle as 7-8 and up 5-6 is sitting in my pen playing with toys age, 7-8 is going to school and playing on my DS age

although i did pick these numbers very arbitrarily im mostly just casually middlespaced a lot of the time and dont really give it any serious thought cause its a sort of unimportant number to me

makes sense! I have been thinking about using middle for myself but wasn't entirely sure it would fit, but it seems like at 8 I might fit a lot of people's definitions well enough and it would make it more clear that I'm not like a baby or toddler

it seems like "middle" doesn't have a very agreed-upon definition. for me I use plural system terminology rules, to me little is 1-10 and middle is 11-17. i don't really see middlespace as being in school, for me it's more being a preteen/young teen just starting puberty. grade school is little imo

my middlespace is like a weird mix of being preteen/teenager coded and being into abdl and I was surprised to learn that's not actually how a lot of ppl describe theirs :P

Social-emotional developmental milestones don't really line up with hard numbers very often, and also I think a big part of the delineation is a sort of disambiguation people elect to make. "Little" has a general connotation of infantilism to a lot of people, where "middle" exists outside that area.

Prefacing that I have no issues with infantilism, but I see it overwhelmingly represented in ageplay/age regression spaces in a way that kind of overtakes any of the other categories under the umbrella.

I think if I were to describe myself as a "little" to other people, most of them would probably assume I'm all about pacifiers, diapers, baby bottles, pre-K cartoons, etc., when this isn't the case. Calling myself a middle at least gets me total confusion or an easier assumption to correct.

ye I feel the same way I am just doing "kid" for now since it feels general enough but if I have to choose between little and middle I think I would do middle too
