I think of the ABDL lifestyle as a kind of secret club. When in cities with ABDL stores I always visit. Also, I try to meet other ABDLs too but this never works out.
I just want to meet other ABDLs to connect about this part of ourselves or just play board games or get some food but it's hard to connect with people. The people i do end up finding through Fet or whatever just assume I'm trying to hook up with them or something. I just want to meet people and make irl friends.
I kind of wish there was a way to meet other ABDLs easier. If anyone has any good advice or perspective that would be helpful. Thanks.
I do have envy for those who have really good friends in this circle, especially the ones who hang out with 20 odd acquaintences and party!
l figured the only way l was going to achieve that lifestyle, was if l went to a 'gathering' somewhere, which l plucked up the courage to do, via Fetlife.
After agreeing to meet a couple of people at a 'pay to enter' club, l felt better about going. It was a daytime event where I met, and hung out with one of my connections almost the entire time. She was quite pretty, very bouncy, and definitely a very complicated person!
It was nice, but weird!
It was great to be surrounded my likeminded folk, but at the same time overwhelming.
It was the most emotionally exhausting 4 hours of my life! In a good way.
l never spoke again with any of the people l met there. They were a bit, how can l say it... mental. They weren't all mad of course, some were extremely revering in their personas.
I chatted to some dude there who l found to be very intelligent and a good conversationalist which was great, but that took me out of the 'little space'.
Another guy came with his girlfriend and she seemed to go along with his blatant ABDL world very well. I thought, you lucky SOB!
But l found it very difficult to break the barriers to real friendships, and l think it's maybe because there is a 'sexual' or suspected sexual motive behind why we go to these events.
But anyway, in my experience, l think it takes real perseverance to make good friends in the AB or DL world.
