To some degree, I think that all depends on the person. People can live with all sorts of personal issues and still be content with the life they have.Though since you asked me, personally, I couldn’t keep this from my partner, because I don’t want to just live, I want to thrive with the one life I got! And for me to thrive, to really be happy, means to me that I need to be one with my partner. I need to be my true, un-filtered self with him, and know that he loves me for me, even with everything fault and weird quirk I have. Now, for some people, they might not care about acceptance on that level, they might be content with their kind-hearted partner who says “I love you”. I know plenty of women who live ‘contently’ like this - leaving makeup on when going to bed, never being in the same room as their partner when they need to use the restroom, etc. I’m not that type a gal who wants to ‘pretend’ I’m some super human (I already handle enough in reality lol). I knew since I was a little girl that my future husband would still love me without makeup on, when I fart near him, when my legs need a shave, etc, etc. And maybe you’re OK with this, but some food for thought: I’d be really hurt if I found out my partner had hid something harmless like macro/micro about themselves from me because they thought I wouldn’t like them. To your partner, it can illustrate to them how little confidence you have in them too. My husband told me these very words when I came out to him - not at first, but when he realized how much a part of me G/t was. As I’ve made more size friends at meetups and Size Con, I hear this story again and again too. Have some faith in your partner! It’s true that not every person will be accepting - but at the end of the day, do you want to be with a person would turn on you, who can’t accept you for who you are? I’d gladly tell them:

Not sure, gonna see how it all plays out :(

when what? o.o

Nope, sorry :(

Thank you so much Sage!!!

That’s right!! Everyone, even vanilla people are unique individuals with unique sexualities. Sexuality is in no way, shape or form some cookie-cutter way of life. No matter how strange or how tame a sexual fantasy is, even vanilla people have hang ups about discussing their sexuality with their partners too. It’s normal for us in today’s modern society to feel a bit of shame and embarrassment. The internet has been wonderful in the sense that it’s opened our eyes to the variety that is human sexuality, and helped us find validation in our own kinks. To put it short - we realized there are others like us! We’re not ‘some freak’ as you said. That alone should encourage if not empower the community to say with confidence that there is nothing wrong with being kinky. We all still are parents, siblings, aunts and uncles, cousins, friends, neighbors, teachers, doctors, etc. We are just like everyone else, and have a ton of different traits, interests, and quirks that make us who we are, that are not related to our kink.When you find value in yourself, and accept yourself for who you are, the shame just melts away. The way I see it, I’ve met macrophiles pushing 70 years old, so I don’t think this is going away any time for me soon. I’ve come to terms that I will be a tiny submissive my whole life. So, my way of thinking has always been that my partner better be OK with this part of me, or they’re not meant for me. It sucks to lose a partner over something like your sexuality - but love means you care for someone wholly. If that person isn’t going to be there to support you, then you’re only going to suffer. Size Con by the way was a huge success :) See you there next year? :P 

I’m glad you’ve found acceptance and validation in yourself and encouragement from the community - we are a very loving group for the most part Keep loving yourself for the perfectly normal, kinky individual you are - rock on fellow kinkster!! 🤘

Yay!! I’m glad I could bring you a bit of a happiness :D Thanks for being here!
