I found this video but bookmarked it to watch later, and only now have found the time to watch it. First off, I’m an autistic female in my twenties, and I was diagnosed “late”, so many of my behaviorisms, and hyper-fixations were often brushed over as me being a child, or a childish teenager. That’s what led to years of misdiagnosis after misdiagnosis. I found videos and articles online about autism in females and I was amazed. Suddenly, so many pieces of my life made sense. My entire social structure was able to be broken down and reanalyzed through a new lense. It was no longer taboo that I enjoyed kids toys and still liked cartoons. All of THAT being said, I only discovered the concept of age regression at 25!!!! This video really does help explain the human aspects of what regression is. I can read a million psychiatric journals without ever connecting to what’s being said. It’s too clinical. I hope to explore via therapy, how to cope and manage the age regression I experience (7yrs-17yrs old) and what can cause it to unintentionally occur. Especially in professional work settings. Thank you for this video, it’s not easy to put yourself out there like this. We appreciate you. ❤
I’m 21 and I’ve been suffering with age regression since 2013. Once I graduated high school and got a taste of the working world and college it was too much to handle. I could not imagine living my life the same every day. I couldn’t fathom how people stick to a strict schedule and how they’re able to get up and do something. I currently work at a Panda Express, and while some people might say it’s a high school job it brings me the most joy. This job allows me to live the lifestyle I want. Falling asleep and waking up at random hours of the nights, staying home to play video games on my Xbox 360, and surfing the internet as if it were 2013. I know this is only hurting my future self but I would rather limit myself in what I can buy if it means I can keep living the lifestyle I had when I was 11. I am honesty the happiest I ever been in my life and I know that actual adulthood will drain my soul so I’m riding this out as long as I can. My point is that for some people are regression can be ADDICTIVE because nostalgia is addictive. I play the same video games and watch the same TH-cam videos I did when I was 11. ❤Everyone please find some healthier coping mechanisms, don’t be like me❤️
Let me tell you, if you're happy, keep doing what you enjoy! I am a 24 year old high school dropout (I had to due to a major family emergency when I was a junior). It can be an addictive lifestyle, but life is too short to live it unhappily. Nostalgia is such a real thing. I also play games, mostly Ps2 games and with older toys because it makes me happy, but sometimes it hurts because I know I'll never truly get to re live those happy times when I was a kid. If you are happy with what you have and have what you NEED there's no shame in the way you are 😊
@@BittyBat-vs3tj Thank you, it really means a lot to know there’s someone else out there that values happiness over status. (Someone else who doesn’t need the newest gaming console☺️) I really worry about my future sometimes but I know I won’t regret the way I chose to live my life the past three years.
I was visiting a friend once, and was helping her clean up house after a surgery or illness or something like that. Her daughter was at school, and I was placing clothes in her room when I discovered a large diaper, pacifier, and other items. I found out, after reaching out to the daughter, that her mother was really not paying enough attention to her. She was also bipolar to the point of mentally torturing the daughter.😢 She has since moved out and gotten away from the toxicity. Although I’m unsure if she continues to use the little time as a coping mechanism, but I do not judge her. I pray for her and pray that she leans on the Lord and uses the little time in a healthy way. 😊
as someone who age-regresses (1-5 non sexual) due to me not really having a childhood and having alot of traumatic experiences i do age-regress (most of the time its willing but sometimes i do slip-into it) and i do get comments about my specific case being a "kink" and that im a "freak" even some of my closest friends say this to me. you explained age regression well in this video and i dont see it coming from this type of perspective, most of the time it comes from a hateful perspective and it just makes me sad seeing it (most of the time its coming from big creators that i liked which makes me even more upset) i still think its weird that i do this as i am 17 but im starting to accept it. :) also your room looks cool
I'm sorry about your trauma, unfortunately it happens to so many people. I promise you aren't a freak in any way. People just say awful things and act in awful ways because they don't understand. They are ignorant because they don't WANT to understand. Sadly this can be the case with those closest to us. Please keep being you and never let anyone discourage you! ☺️
