A very interesting title

I was wondering, how do I tell someone I age regress?

I've been thinking of telling my bf since I already kinda almost regressed with him a couple ot times (after a hard day and he makes me relax and feel comfortable)

He also kinda noticed how I sometimes "act more childish after being sad" or when I text him "funny". So there already were some signs for him, but I don't know if or how to bring it up to explain it to him.... Like how do I approach this conversation?

I'm scared he might get the wrong idea or smth.....

HOWDY HOWDDYYY!! OKAY SO there are a few ways you can approach this with your partner. If he hasn't heard of age regression, it will take some time for him to learn/understand. If you want, you can test the waters a bit, if that makes sense? EX. you can bring up agere as something you read about or watched a video on, and ask your partner what he thinks about it first. OR you can tell him straight up that you do regress if you feel comfortable doing so!! I regressed a few times while on call with my friend before he became my caregiver. I really wanted to tell them about it, so one night I asked to talk about something, texted them info about age regression, and told them it's something I do. He was cool with me regressing on calls with him, and eventually offered to be my caregiver once he learned more about it!! I know it's SUPER nerve-racking to tell someone something so personal, but it's definitely worth it. Even if it takes some time, you will have peace of mind knowing it's not something you have to hide anymore!! Here are two videos I've watched on the same topic: - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgQztXg2Ig8 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYzRNqKYwEg

ANNNDD here is a good post that you can show him to help explain what age regression is: - https://www.tumblr.com/sunnimals/817057282477211649/it-has-always-bothered-me-a-little-that-a-lot-of

Hope I could help you!! There are probably other posts you can find on here that answer the same question-- I just can't find them right now for the life of me LOLL

My dear little ones,

Sometimes, the big world is just too loud, too fast, and too heavy. Slipping into your small, soft headspace should feel like wrapping yourself in a warm blanket on a rainy day. So, I have gathered a few gentle tips to help you find that cozy feeling, whenever you need it most. (´｡• ᵕ •｡`)♡

1. Create a "Little Nest" Just for You.

Find a corner of your room or your favorite spot on the couch. Pile it high with your softest blankets, your squishiest pillows, and all your favorite plushies. This is your secret kingdom, where only softness is allowed.

2. Prepare a "Little Basket" Ahead of Time.

Fill a small basket or bin with everything you might want while small: coloring books and crayons, a sippy cup, a pacifier if you use one, a small snack, and a comfort object like a special stuffie. Having it all in one place means you don't have to search or think too hard.

3. Choose Your Cozy Sounds.

Soft music, gentle lullabies, or the quiet hum of a favorite cartoon can be a wonderful anchor for your little space. Make a playlist or find a show that feels like a warm hug for your ears. ♪(´▽｀)

4. Let Your Body Feel Small.

Wrap yourself in an oversized hoodie or a soft blanket like a cocoon. Curl up on your side. Hold a plushie close to your chest. Sometimes, letting your body feel small helps your mind follow.

5. Give Yourself Permission to Be Little.

This is the most important tip, my dear. You do not laneed to earn your little space. You do not need to be "little enough" or do things perfectly. You are allowed to be small, quiet, silly, or even a little sad. There is no wrong way to be you.

6. If You Have a Caregiver, Use Gentle Signals.

If words feel too big, have a small signal for when you need them. A certain blanket over your shoulders, a specific plushie in your lap, or a simple text like "🌙" can tell them you need extra softness.

7. Be Kind to Your Heart.

Some days, slipping down will feel easy and floaty. Other days, it might feel sticky or impossible. That is okay, little one. You are not failing. Your heart is just having a heavier day. Be as patient with yourself as you would be with a friend.

Get sad being called "silly" even when joking

Yes. And sometimes regression is just angry.

I’m ANGRY that you did this to me and put me in this position. I’m angry because you robbed me of my identity and childhood. I’m angry at myself because I know it wasn’t your fault.

The agere community is super open about sad regressors, processing trauma, and impure regression—but pls don’t forget that for some of us that means being angry.

is it just me?
