"age Regression Is A Trauma Coping Mechanism, Why Don't People Post About Their Trauma Regression, Why

"age regression is a trauma coping mechanism, why don't people post about their trauma regression, why is regression seen as cute and fun always, there's not enough posts about trauma regressors! regression is becoming a hobby now >:(!"

LET PEOPLE REGRESS FOR FUN AND ENJOY THEIR CUTESY REGRESSION, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. if your regression is purely negative and trauma based, then fine! you post about it! but everyone knows regression isn't always cutesy and aesthetic - you don't need to bash people who regress for fun or enjoy said aesthetics, paci edits, etc, just to get a point across that the agere community as a whole already knows. because we all know that agere isn't all sunshine and rainbows already.

some people want regression to be their hobby, or for fun, or because they enjoy cutesy things. heck, my regression is also heavily linked with trauma and coping - but forgive me for not wanting to post about my literal trauma and the negative parts of my regression for people online to see, and instead focusing on the positives of my regression and cutesy aesthetics i enjoy whilst small.

there's nothing wrong with regressing just because you want to, as a hobby, or because it's fun. just because someone doesn't regress due to trauma, or they do but they'd rather not focus on that aspect of it, doesn't make their regression or their content any less valid. we don't have to be sharing our traumas or the bad parts of our regression in order to be taken seriously or seen as valid regressors if we don't want to. thanks.

🧃 · don't know what age you regress to

🥞 · act mainly as a caregiver but still regress

💫 · have done things you regret when regressed

🧃 · cannot control your regression

🥞 · are mainly a regressor but are also a caregiver

💫 · feel like a burden for being disabled and needing extra or specific care

🧃 · are worried to tell people about your regression

🥞 · can't really tell the difference between when you regress and when you don't

🧃 · are afraid of getting or don't want a caregiver due to trauma

💫 · do things considered "big" or "adult" when regressed

you are always deserving of comfort, safety, and a happy regression 𓂃⊹

It is okay if:

★ You regress to cope with stress. ★ Regression is a coping mechanism for trauma. ★ Being little is the only way you feel safe. ★ You're an adult and prefer children's coloring books. ★ You're a teenager who likes to read picture books. ★ You find it comforting to be cared for like a child or toddler. ★ It is relaxing to drink from a baby bottle. ★ It soothes you to use a pacifier/pacy ★ You sleep with stuffed animals/stuffies. ★ You prefer watching kids' movies and shows to adult ones. ★ Kids' music calms you down. ★ You have a favorite item that you carry everywhere to comfort you. ★ You talk in a small, baby voice when regressed. ★ Want or don't want attention when regressed. ★ You like wearing pajamas with cartoon characters on them. ★ You need a nightlight to keep all of the monsters away. ★ You are a non-binary regressor. ★ You are a small, or big regressor. ★ You are clingy with one or more people when regressed. ★ All you want is to be loved like a child when being loved like an adult makes you unhappy.

It is okay if you apply to any or all of those things and more. If being little makes you feel safe and loved, it is okay if what you like is different from another person your age. Everyone regresses differently, and your way is always going to be okay! 🤗
