things that don't make you a bad regressor:
being too big or heavy to lift up and carry
having kinky or curly hair
having imperfect, yellowed, crooked or broken teeth
having body hair or facial hair
any part of your physical appearance. there is no way to “look like” an age regressor.
being trans or genderqueer
liking dark or “inappropriate” shows, even while regressed
having dark or “inappropriate” interests, even while regressed (vulture culture, slasher films, etc)
having coping strategies outside of agere
not being able to regress easily
using substances, even while regressed
having “inappropriate thoughts” while regressed — you can't exactly control what you think
swearing, even when regressed
having a fictional caregiver
telling nobody about your regression
wearing your regression on your sleeve
needing/using diaps for any reason
using mobility aids, even ones people consider “for old people” (they aren't — they're for whoever needs them)
not being nostalgic for your childhood, or preferring modern children's media compared to what was out when you were little
or being very nostalgic, wanting only to engage with things that came out when you were little
regressing to an older age, like 10 or 12 or 16
choosing/controlling when you regress
not being able to control when you regress
literally anything that gatekeepy tumblrinas and aesthetic pinterest accounts try to force on you. your regression is yours, and you aren't doing it wrong.
