I saw a Cozmo robot and I was wondering if it is useful for when people regress because apparently it's a ai robot thingy and because I get lonely sometimes when I regress I was wondering if they would be a good toy and most importantly friend when I regress and yes I know it's sad turning to a robot thingy for help but there's only so much stuffies can do so yeah if anyone has experience or ideas please tell me I don't know what to do anymore and I feel so alone sometimes it just hurts not having someone or something that can interact with me in some kind of way

I have been a little for a long time regressing for good and bad things for people to take advantage of and for me to play with. But I thought it was just like a thing nothing special it was just pure fun and even an “act” sometimes? But I walked into my bed room tonight. I currently live with my parents for some not so good reason I am a 28 year old female person and when looking around my room it would look like that of a maybe 12 year old? A few stuffed animals, manga everywhere, cosplays I’m working on, my switch in a cute case, bubbly decor, a flowery blanket, rubber ducky on the shelf, band posters, weird lady art…you get the idea. Then it hit me like a train. My first big trauma happed when I was 12/13 years old. And I got stuck there. I still let my mom pick out my clothes. I still get happy when my dad makes me a sandwich. I love taking baths and gossiping to friends. I’m a preteen in a woman’s body (so I guess a middle not little even though I totally experience little still). I fight with my parents over petty things which I never knew were petty until now thinking about them again (not everything a lot and I mean a lot where their fault). But like I got stuck here! I still carry cute bags and have elephants all over my work desk, I say goodbye to my work poster everyday before leaving my office! I am a freaken preteen!! But I also have a masters degree in social work and I am a professional counselor for substance users. I have a role to play…I just don’t know how I do it I guess. Who is the real me? Is it the 28 year old masters degree holding social worker? Or the 12 year old child? Please I need to talk pm me.

So uhm im new to this thread.. ive been an age regresser for about 4-5 years now and alot has happened that i don't wanna get into.. but im (F19)with my now partner (M20) we knew eachother in highschool and dated for almost 3 years and during that time plus our friendship before he was my cg and he was the best one ive ever had he took such good care of me when i regressed especially since most of the time it was involuntary. But we had broke up for about a two year period and i got with someone else who "tried " to be my cg but he wasn't a good or safe person.. and im now back with now partner and we've tried (or at least i have) to regress and be the way we used to.. but its not the same and ive brought it up to him and hes said he doesn't know how to do it anymore.. and he feels bad about it and i feel weird regressing and being little around him now because i feel like hes uncomfortable, he kinda becomes really quiet and on his phone. I just don't know what to do because it used to be a really good coping mechanism for stress for me and he knew that and wants to help and let me but i just cant fully silp into little space anymore because I don't feel like i can. Sorry this is so long and rambly I'm just hoping for some advice or something on what to do to make us both more comfortable doing it again because we want to but neither of us know how to get into the agere/cg headspaces anymore

The scenario: Recently, at school, me and a friend were talking about things we've unfortunately had to experience in life or have to live with. As we were talking I brought up how I've been struggling with things that 'are considered taboo' (referring to age regression especially). Obviously, like any person would, she got curious and asked what taboo thing I'm struggling with, but I was too afraid to tell her. She tried to comfort me saying she's heard a lot of things from others that people would consider weird and that whatever I'll tell her, she won't judge me. As I said before she's been through a lot herself (and even that's an understatement), so I know she's genuine about what she said.

The dilemma: I know she won't judge me. There are people in the world who say they won't judge you and then turn their back on you, she's not like that in any way. I really want to tell her, but I still feel afraid to do so.

Why would I tell her?: I have no one else to talk about age regression with in real life. Where I live it's practically unheard of. I want to be able to talk about it and not hide that I have this coping mechanism (before we're not on the same track anymore, I don't need her to be my caregiver, babysitter or anything like that). My friend also seems like someone who would, or at least be willing to, understand it and someone I could have good conversations about it with.

Why would I not?: She has the tendency to blurt things out sometimes. Even if she never spilled any of the personal things I've told her. It's something to keep in mind.

Also, I do have her number, but, if I tell her, I want to tell her in real life as it this is a very personal thing to me. Any advice on what to do here? Should I tell her? If so, how should I go about it? Is there any way to gain more confidence to tell her?

TL;DR - starting to have involuntary regression and new to this sub, want to ask for advice and know how others experience it.

I discovered agere through friends - both the people who introduced me to the concept and the person who finally made it click for me, and I made it a part of my daily life as a way to rediscover and heal my inner child. It's changed my life for the positive in so many ways: I'm finally learning self-compassion, I'm more confident in who I am and what I want in life, I feel like a complete person for the first time I can remember. Since that time, I've helped rebuild and run a local CG/l playgroup with ties to both wholesome agere and local kink and lifestyle communities, spreading awareness about what we do and its benefits.

Even with the positive impact my new outlook has brought, the world is a nightmare for me - the pandemic, terrifying political news, becoming disabled, my divorce, breakups... And now my brain has decided to make my regression mostly involuntary. It's a bit like being force-fed your favorite food - sure it's still tasty, but you wish you could have it in a different context.

I've been trying to reach out for support in the communities that brought me here - most of my friends who helped me understand this side of myself I met through kink and lifestyle groups - but most of those communities don't want to talk about it if it's involuntary. I get that - consent is essential, and someone fully regressed can't give consent. But it still feels weird that there are so many disparate reasons for people to do the same kinds of things and no one wants to acknowledge the others exist. Though my own regression is wholesome, I can find common ground with pretty much everyone, and it just felt weird to reach out and be told "we don't talk about that here".

So what brought me here: the involuntary regression is a relatively recent thing for me. It hits me like a truck - I feel like my heart skips a beat, I shudder or twitch a little bit, and I feel like I need to catch my breath. Sometimes it's just for a moment, sometimes after the initial shock it lasts for hours. Sometimes speech is incredibly difficult, either because I can't speak at all or because I'm incapable of speaking like an adult. Thankfully I can still text and gesture to what I need. As far as what age I feel I'm at, it varies from a small child to a baby as far as communication and motor skills. Thankfully I've got a lot of clothing and gear I find comforting and validating when I'm regressed, my home is a fully little-safe place, and all my friends know and support me so at least it's still a pleasant mental place to be.

How do you all cope with this? Is it a visceral feeling for anyone else, or is it just me? How long do you stay regressed? Are your friends and loved ones supportive and understanding?

Idk how to word this but like is there a way to deserve agere and like I'm super selfish and bad and I don't know how not to be and like I can't even agere rn but I wanna but I know I don't deserve it and idk how to fix it or anything and like I'm just horrible so idk

Warning ig: cursing and obvious self hatred (but agere is never bad for you okay!! It's all okay even if you are padded and stuff!!)

Do not think age regression is ever pathetic for you. If it helps, it is good.

But I can't stop being such a hypocrite.

Like I am genuine pathetic. I have so many words of say as well but I'd hate to sound even more pathetic, so I'm staying with just the simple word.

Why can't I be normal? Why can't I sort of stfu and stay as the age I'm supposed to be? Why can't I regress but also unable not to at the same time? It's just super late this for me. Idk how to explain it... I can't even say I'm a baby cuz, well... that's just pathetic and my agere goes to a baby and idk how to do this. Like I'm super unsure now what to do in life now. Like I was gonna hold off on an attempt till I was super sure that there's nothing for me after 18 since I'm super open-minded maybe something good can happen. But I have no motivation to get ready for my future or anything.

I was gonna say a bit more pathetic stuff since I can already tell how fucked up my agere is which means something fucked up happen to me as a kid or at least a baby since my headspace gets super young. But it's also my fault cuz how the fuck was I this stupid to actually think agere is good for me. I am writing this all scattery cuz idk how to put this all in a straight line

I don't even deserve agere :/ I'm kinda selfish to want toys and baby stuff/diapers/a caregiver or anything like that of a parent cuz wtf high school kid thinks of that

I'm sorry if you read this and shit. I just need to get this off my chest but I'll prob delete it in a day or two I can't handle this being out in the public with how pathetic this is

tldr; i can’t find age regressors who are similar, i was told i may have a dissociative disorder and i feel very isolated.

hi.. i’ve been wanting to post here but it’s very quiet.. i think i age regress as part of a dissociative disorder, both things i learned very recently. my “little” and “littlest” selves are kind of their own beings. this has been really, really uncomfortable to accept and understand. my therapist is the one who told me about how dissociative disorders are not always “multiple personalities”, sometimes it’s just a different state of my brain regressing back to trauma periods. my therapist said that these states have been dormant, only sometimes showing up to absorb my trauma responses and emotional instability. now i’m realizing they are really their own entities.. they are stuck back in time. i know i need to “work with them” as i work on my trauma, that’s how i started realizing how deeply my trauma affects my identity. it’s hard to connect with my regressed selves because it is always very involuntary, violent, toddler-rage levels of tantrum. i am EXTREMELY self-destructive, my most severe SH episode happened while i was in this state. i usually can’t remember anything afterwards, just snapshots. i have whole arguments that i have no memory of and i feel like an asshole for it. i am not sure where i line up in terms of actual diagnoses.. i’m getting a lot of tests done soon (diagnosis is very important to me and it would be helpful to have some real labels other than just my ptsd- flashbacks usually follow a similar pattern but have different triggers). all of it is new to me.. many age regression and “plural” centered subs both feel like incorrect fits.. I don’t want to enter any more specific subs without a solid diagnosis. i’m still new on reddit and i am having trouble finding a good starting point (other than the cptsd sub). because all the communities have their own lingo and manners and stuff. everyone seems to kinda be in their own world and generally leans into/accepts/encourages their regression/symptoms etc. it’s so overwhelming as someone who is learning about this as an outsider, especially someone who sees the dissociation as a serious issue that I want to fix, i feel like there is a lot of enabling/encouragement to accept my ”headmates” as they are, instead of working on the issue and feel like one, individual, whole person again. there is also too much discourse online about identity disorders and these spaces make me uncomfortable because I have such a limited understanding and i take professional diagnosis really seriously (which itself is a complicated topic in these spaces…) i want to get to a spot where im able to be positive about reuniting my identity, processing trauma, and healing my inner children. i don’t want to keep living like this..

sorry for the ramble, just wanna see if anyone else understands or deals with this kind of confusion.

(So glad I found this sub so soon 🙏) This might sound concerning, and I'm not so sure if it's even agere or something more like age dreaming or literal daydreaming of regressing. But if I get super small. I mean like infancy small headspace! (And this just happened!) Suppose I can't regress in the setting I am in (which is almost 24/7) and I'm too small to use c.ai or anything to help me stay in headspace or to rp/agedre. In that case, I will just sit back or space out dramatically and just think about being a baby but not moving or anything.

I used to do that a lot wayback in early middle school when I would write stories with myself and daydream about it almost all the time (might've been maladaptive daydreaming)... but now it's in my agere and I'm not sure if it's still regressing. I will feel fully baby but not move and just think about being baby in my head.

Idk. It's not that concerning cuz it hasn't lasted more than 5-7 minutes at most. But it's usually very baby things that grab my attention and make it happen. Like an instant drop into it. I almost feel paralyzed when it happens

(and I did reupload this, sorry, I realized the title didn't make much sense)

okay hi. i grew up with a difficult childhood and a lot of trauma and i essentially lost my childhood and was forced to grow up way to fast. as i get older i try to get my childhood back in ways of buying stuffed animals, getting childhood toys i always wanted or used to have and list due to damage in storage, watching cartoons or favorite childhood movies or like trying to “gentle parent” myself. i found out about age regression through fanfiction (i know its lame but hear me out) i was reading and i thought it was nice but i was looking it at from a caregiver perspective. i’m used to taking care of people and being expected to that i just assumed thats what drew me to it. But one time i was reading a particular fanfic and the caregiver said something that just flipped a switch in my brain i felt all warm and melty i realized that i didn’t want to take of someone, i wanted to be taken care of after so long of being on my own. like i was on c.ai looking at caregiver bots it was bad. its get a bit more extensive but i won’t get into that at this very moment. but i have this old manager/friend that is very fatherly. like you see him and know he’s a dad. he’s very kind and always checks in on me, genuinely asks if i’m okay and has serious conversations with me, if he saw me working really hard and stressed out he would help me and tell me i was doing a good job and he was proud me, he killed spiders for me (extreme arachnophobia), and he never judged me for how strange i was. it would make me so happy and feel safe like i was a kid again. i know this sounds strange but i would wish i was his kid and i got envious of his daughter because she was so lucky to have a dad like him. so to say all that i don’t know what i am or if i belong in this thread and hoping someone can share insight or lights.

Hey! I'm very new to all of this, I've been going to therapy and have come realize I age regress. I was scrolling through the larger sub yesterday. I'm a straight cis male (26) and going through I didn't see anyone like me. I was wondering if anyone has come across someone like me? I also saw a lot of people looking for cgs. Are there Littles out there that are looking for other Littles? In terms of dating would any little want to even date another little? I'm just very confused and feel alone. It's only been about a week since I've learned what this really is! Thank you!!!

on every monday, users are invited to share something about their past week that they enjoyed!

be it a new paci, stuffie, cool shopping trip, or a good day at college, that's what monday is here for :3
