Let's Talk About Age Regression!

I do without realising then feel guilty about it... I don't know why as there is nothing inherently wrong with it! Maybe it's because I've never experienced a 'normal' childhood/teenagehood

I'm also age regressor and have been for about 10 years now but 5 years realizing I was a age regressor and it helps me a lot

We do sometimes.. not all of us tho

i cant tell when im regressing i honestly think im a much younger age constantly all day everyday pretending to be an adult. But i have an imaginary man that i see as my cg. I dont know where the like is between my autistic support needs and me just being in little space lol. but i dont think i care either… its what makes me me.

YES I hate when people s3ggzualiz3 it cause like autistic might regress like I do when I'm overstimulated but also BABIES regress. Literally. Toddlers regress cause they want the attention they had as a baby- but when you get older it's because you realize it isn't about attention anymore and you just wanna feel safe

I age regress, but not all that often. When I do, it's not usually a fun experience, because I hear overlapping voices in my head, some yelling awful things, others trying to calm me. I always end up crying and napping when it happens, and when I wake up, I'm usually fine and out of little space The last time I did it was decently pleasant. The voice saying foul and upsetting things was quieter, and the more soothing voice was calming me the entire time

I'm not sure if I am one or not

I'm not sure if it's really age regression, but I have a lot of "childish" interests and tend to act more goofy and use a higher tone of voice specifically around my boyfriend and around animals. I never thought about it fully until I saw your comment about being caregiver-dependent, but it's almost like I feel safe being myself in those contexts, because I know animals don't care and I've known my boyfriend long enough to know he thinks I'm cute and isn't judgmental. I never act that way at work or anything so I guess it's voluntary. With autism it's hard to differentiate between what I'd consider masking vs age regression, but it's probably a combination

I use age regression as a coping mechanism my mom died 2 years ago and my happiest memorys are from age 4-10 so I don't really have the choice in it happening my mental health did it as I was in England where she was in Boston Massachusetts USA

I age-dream, don’t fully regress. I find a lot of comfort in “childish” things like tv shows/movies and drawing/coloring

Idk if its the same thing but I felt like I wanted to age regress to uow I was in school. Like my looks and everything and the things I was doing and I wanted to shave my beard off completely instead of just having stubble . I liked how people saw me back then

I think I am

I regress and alot of my family doesn't understand it

I'm typically 10-12 and it can be fun at first. But when I need to be responsible it's horrible. Because it's mentally hard to be.

Mine is usually just to cope. My sister used to get really annoyed when I would suddenly go from being my usual age to 12 or even 3 years old. But sometimes it happens unintentionally for good things too like if I am in a theme park or in a children's store I will age regress.

I regress because my childhood was ass. I regress to 2-6 but normally 4-6.

I regress too! I regress to the age of 12. I was the happiest then. It was before my other trauma began.

I regress! I regress around 3-6
