Kids process things differently than adults, but that doesn't mean the feelings weren't valid either. It can be hard sometimes to look back and admit that something hurt you as badly as it did, even though it doesn't seem like a big deal now. I'm notoriously bad for this ( •̯́ ^ •̯̀).

And sometimes, the kid in you just wants to stick around and have fun. And that's okay too! No harm in that (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶).

I appreciate it though. I'm doing better now. Regression is a pretty recent coping mechanism my brain decided to use and it scared me at first - it still does sometimes - but it made me realize that just because Adult Me is trying to move on, doesn't mean Little Me is over it or has healed.

I'm still learning myself, honestly. So if it makes you feel any better, we can learn and figure things out together (ˊᵕˋ)♡.

1. yeah I know... That why I'm trying to be a it kinder to myself and accept that the things small for me now were soul crushing for me back then

2. Me too, we're bad at this together (⌒_⌒;)

3. Yeah I think I'm pretty childish/have a cute aesthetic in general lol

4. I'm glad you're doing better!!

5. Yeah sometimes you just have to listen to little you and learn to make the adult and little coexist (＾◡＾)

6. Awww, it's nice to know I'm not the only one figuring this thing out (≧◡≦) ♡

Hihi! Just saw your post about regressing. I know a bunch of others have come forward to talk about experiences and stuff, but I figured I would put in a few words too, if that's okay. (ˊᵕˋ)

There's no rule book or manual on what is considered valid for regressing or how to do it. And people's measures of trauma vary wildly (a traumatic experience for one person might not be for another). If it's something that brings you joy and peace of mind - even if it's just to let go of stress from the day - that's enough. It's not hurting anyone, and it makes you happy. That's what matters.

I experience involuntary regression from trauma flashbacks, but I also am trying to learn to allow myself to regress just when I need it because I've had a stressful day or want to let go for a while. That doesn't mean that half of my experience of regression is invalid because that part isn't from trauma, y'know what I mean?

Your regression is valid, friend. And so are you.◝(ᵔᵕᵔ)◜

1. I definitely appreciate you putting in some words, thank you for taking the time to read my post and write all of this (◍•ᴗ•◍)

2. I know that there's no manual, I saw how different people are and how different their reasons for regressing are.

3. Yeah I tend to feel like my experiences weren't "bad enough" because looking back on it , they might seem like nothing, but as a kid it was a big deal for me and impacted me a lot ╥﹏╥ I need to stop dismissing my experiences

4. It definitely brings me joy and peace of mind! Especially during stressful periods in my life

5. I think I only regressed involuntarily once in my life, after having a panic attack? Although I'm not sure, I just went nonverbal and I had a friend kinda take care of me...

6. I'm really sorry for your trauma whatever it might be and I hope you're doing better. It's really good you're trying to take some control of your regression as to do it voluntarily from time to time.

7. Thank you, this really meant a lot to me! All of the responses I got meant a lot, I'm actually kinda making my little corner already (little as in it's small and as it's for little me lol)

PS. Sorry for the list, my mind is too jumbled sometimes to reply without it

definitely not alone on this one, I do it too! And when I recently mentioned it to one friend he said he does that too!

(although it does get awkward sometimes when I instinctively try to bite one of my friends and they don't know why I'm trying to bite them 😭 it's embarrassing to explain okay?...)

So does anyone else bite to show affection?

is it just me?

like, this is how I say your my fren

Chomp

I’m probably alone on this one-

Me: "I'm not traumatized or anything, I don't need age regression at all"

Also me 4h later after finding a post of someone talking about how a cg would heal them by acknowledging their big emotions and helping them manage them:

(it was just point 3,there was more and I was already sad :c I want a hug) (is this cringe? I have issues I think)

[micahslittlecorner]

This post is for age regressors (or cg) so anyone else (especially NSFW blogs) scroll past this.

I would really love to age regress, just seeing people on the internet talking about it makes me feel really fuzzy inside. I used to even have a pacifier that I unfortunately threw out when a family member almost found it.

But I feel like I can't do that, like I wasn't "traumatized enough" to do that. I had a roof over my head and food in the fridge. Thinking about regressing makes me feel guilty that maybe I'm somehow invalidating the agere community because they probably had it worse than me.

Last year I used to go into little space from time to time and it really helped me, since I stopped ig I got worse (relapsed and started sh again).

I don't know what to do, if I'm allowed to do that or if I'm doing something wrong... I don't know what I'm doing with this post but I just hoped for maybe some perspective :c
