What is age regression?

made by kittypity

Age regression is when someone reverts to a younger mindset. It’s not about physically being younger, it’s about feeling or thinking younger. People age regress to cope with trauma, stress, anxiety, some people even do it for comfort or fun, which is totally valid!

Sometimes it can be voluntary, and sometimes it can be involuntary, as someone could've been triggered into age regression.

It's okay to be uncomfortable with this coping mechanism, but a lot of people seem to mistake age regressing as age playing, which is not true at all! Age regressing is entirely SFW and NOT a k1nk.
