Hey there. This could be caused by a variety of things, from psychological issues to emotional problems to simple fading interest. Let's talk about this and some suggestions I'd make.

• 1: Make sure the issue isn't being caused by a psychological disorder. Is your little suffering from depression? Are things that were previously enjoyable to your little no longer enjoyable? Are they lacking energy? Are they suicidal? If any of this is true they may be suffering from depression and you should seek professional help for them.
• 2: Could the issue be caused by embarrassment, lack of pride, or general feeling of self loathing? When I was younger, I was very embarrassed to be an AB. I would go through binge and purge cycles where I would be binge on wearing diapers and then later burn them in my backyard because I hated them so much. I describe this phenomenon in my comic Don't Binge/Don't Purge (click for link). If this is the case, you can break the cycle by instilling a sense of self pride. For instance, point out all the things that make your little normal (They're just another law abiding, tax paying, citizen in a free country) and imply that it is no big deal that they do something strange in the safety of their own home between consenting adults.
• 3: If the problem is fading interest, there might not be a lot you can do. Some people do soul searching and realize that they aren't really the people they used to be. Maybe the little thing just lost it's spark for them. You can try to rekindle the spark with positive interactions, but it may be a good idea to just let them explore their interest or lack thereof on their own. It obviously means a lot to you, so maybe they'll stay for you. You should help your little come to terms with who they are regardless.

Hope that helps.

I have this issue myself sometimes. I'm not sure how to fix it. do you think having bipolar disorder could be a cause of not being able to feel comfortable in littlespace?

hey there!
i know this post is rather old but i figure it could be helpful to others as well.
if your little is not feeling happy in littlespace it is important to discuss your worries with them. they may be struggling with depression or going through some emotional struggle. they could also be feeling ill or have a bad memory from littlespace. something may have happened that you are unaware of that they are not communicating. sitting your little down and expressing your concerns about there well being would be the best action you could take. as a caregiver you look out for your little and they will most likely greatly appreciate you noticing that they may be unwell.
best of luck!
