age regression is when someone regresses into a younger mindset, or acts younger than they actually are. most people, including myself, use it as a way to deal with stress/negative feelings. I've told multiple people about me being an age regressor. some found it interesting and we're totally okay with it, while others were just confused.

for anyone who's still confused, here is urban dictionaries most popular explanation c:

"Age regression is when somebody reverts to a child-like state of mind, often as a coping mechanism for things like PTSD, depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues. Basically age regressors are more at-peace and worry-free whilst in "little space" (A term for when one is in said mindset). These people simply need breaks from the stress of being old and often have a childish personality even outside of regression (Though sometimes it's not as obvious).
Contrary to popular belief, age regression is NOT a kink or even related to sexual intercourse whatsoever. Some age regressors refer to themselves as littles and to their significant other as "Daddy", "Mommy", or just as their "Caregiver" Since they'd typically take care of their "Little" as if they're an actual child."
